Me too, Dr. Clay!

I need to work on stress AND few pounds...not something that goes together well, yes?

Since I lost the 87 lbs, weight gain can actually be stressful for me, so I guess I should work on that primarily which working on stress as I can. However, it's really a continuous circle...stress can cause weight gain for me (comfort eater) which causes weight gain, which increases stress, and the snowball is building.

After loosing the weight (or at least maintaining), I can focus more fully on the stress. I think that's going to be my plan for this month...weight first, stress secondary while working on both at the same time.

Hey wait, I could do relaxtion work while telling self I will not "munch" during those times, huh? I'd be working on both, but still work on weight when not focusing on relaxation.

I should try that first then.

Good luck to you as well!
