One day at a time....like we were coaching one lady on our DBT group. There are some loosing weight thoughts where you have one day a week that is the cheat day & anything is ok........so when you blow it, you just declare that day to be the cheat day & go back to what you were doing the next day. That way you don't beat yourself up for "fluffing it" (what a cute term).
Think the level of stress you have been feeling is beyond the stress that makes you hungary. I know I have different levels of stress & the serious level is the one where I loose my appetite completely until the situation is resolved & usually by then, I have lost too much weight but that's because I don't have any extra to spare ATM.
You are doing a wonderful job of being conscientious about your weight loss. Just don't give up & don't beat yourself up. Look at the overall long term plan & not each little day & you will be surprised even with slip-ups, how well you will do in 6 months, then in a year.....you will be amazed at yourself.
I know the problem is that we can't see the little progress in ourselves as much as others can see the difference. I have a friend who decided that she needed to loose weight....she moved into her new farm & just watched what she was eating & just taking care of the farm was her exercise......she's really looking good over the last 6 months.
Keep your determination & don't let a day here or there discourage you because it's the overall work that you do that ends up making a difference that you don't even notice until you have lost a lot of weight......then you end up wondering "where it is go & when?"
