Unfortunately, due to Mr. Stress, I've lost 20 pounds in the last few months. Not recommended. It's the lowest weight I've been in my life, and believe me, "Do I look Fat"? was a key phrase all my life. I used to gorge when I was stressed, now it's the opposite. I eat only when I'm hungry and don't deprive myself of anything. But I eat smaller portions. If I go out to eat, I usually take 1/2 home for the next day. I watch too much Oprah (is there such a thing?) so I limit "the white stuff", rice, potatoes, bread, which I never really liked anyway. I love chocolate but instead of eating a whole candy bar, I snip off a piece and freeze the rest. My whole family was thin with no weight problems except me (thanks gene pool) and I was always miserable. When I went thru the famous "change" I actually lost weight, who wuuda thought? I forget what magazine I just read, but it listed Weight Watchers as the best diet. Because of all my surgeries, I can't excercise yet. I just love my saggy upper arms now, how attractive. Not. Good luck to everyone. What a hideous battle. Ugh.
