Help

I have a bit of a problem. I keep losing weight, but not because I'm trying. I am so stressed out that I have absolutely no appetite and so I'm not eating enough. I know you all think I'm being stupid and should take it and be happy, but I've lost 5 pounds in the week and a half that Joe's been gone and I'm not on hcg. I'm now at 125.2 which, while I like the number, the way I've gotten there isn't healthy.

So how do I eat when the thought of eating makes me want to hurl? I like food, but nothing sounds good, I eat what I do because I know I have to eat something. But I literally ate half a peanut butter sandwich and a granola bar yesterday and that was it. I had additional calories from a couple of pops but I dropped 1.2 pounds from yesterday to today.

I know the best thing is to alleviate my stress but that's basically out of my hands. Joe's ex is making life very difficult...we're dealing with lawyers on a daily basis which gets expensive. Then Joe's job is getting ready to change which vessel he goes to so we don't know if he's coming home after just a week and a half out, if he's going straight to a new boat, or going to Louisiana for training or some combination of those. The problem there is that if he's not working on a boat he's not getting paid at his regular rate. So then we throw financial issues on top of things. Also, we've recently decided that I need to get a job so I'm filling out applications, submitting resumes, and typing up cover letters like a mad woman. I had my first interview yesterday and they offere me $9 an hour...Um no. That's kind of the whole reason I went to school and into debt was so that I could make more than they offer at Walmart. It's so bad that not only can I not eat, I'm not sleeping, and my period started an entire week early.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I guess I'll post on here..it's been so long.

I'm not losing massive amounts of weight but for the first time I have worked out at the gym for an entire year. We are eating more healthy than ever before and I feel fabulous. Instead of dreading the gym, I look forward to it. It has become a lifestyle, not a fad or a diet. That is what I hoped for. I love when hopes become reality. :)

Now I hope you are all DOING what you want as far as healthy lifestyles go. Good luck to ya!

I have lost 25 pounds in the last 2 months..............................

Awesome right? I was feeling good about my progress.....................

And then...........

yesterday someone asked me if I was pregnant. I know she was just excited, and hoping that I was, but really, all I can do is look at my stomach and see that it is smaller, and think, don't be offended, don't be offended......
