I think I got it figured out......
I think I got it figured out why I hit these plateaus (sp?) and why I gain weight after losing some......I am an emotional eater. After a PTSD moment that my husband had tonight, I found myself craving ice cream or chocolate. Of course I ate it but I realized that I do that when I'm hurting emotionally, when my DH gets his moments which are almost at least once a day, or when I'm feeling stressed because of DH's PTSD. I want chocolate, candy, chips, cake, cookies, you name it....I want it. I try so hard to stay away but it's an emotional satisfaction for the time being and it makes me feel good when DH can't. I don't know what to do. I can't go to the gym or go walking, I have 4 children and when DH is having a 'moment' I would be crazy to leave to go walking and leave him with 4 kids. I'm stuck at home. Plus, what do I do at night when this happens? AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
