Jessie, I know exactly how you are feeling, when hubby got out of teh Marine Corps, we didn't have a job lined up ( well, we sort of did), and we lived with his grandparents for 3 months ( I had packed for 2 weeks, thinking we would get here, have a job, and get at least an apartment right away...) As it turned out, he ultimately got the job he thought he would get, but wow, was I pissed everyday when he would play video games instead of look for a job. I totally understand your feelings. I think you're entitled to them. I'm sure something will work out soon, just keep " encouraging" him ( lol, i love how you put that in quotes.) Don't worry about the weight, like you said, you can only control what happens next, not what already happened, and really, 5 lbs is not an unmanageable amount to start over with.

Good luck!! And if it helps, let everybody around you know that you're trying to destress your life, and that eating bad foods are not making you feel any better, so please don't offer them to you. It might work, they might be offering you "comfort foods" becuase they know you're stressed. And what does a mom or a grandma do better than think a cookie is going to fix it all? huh??? Ok, let me know what I can do to help you succeed!
