sounds like "life" is happening to you right now girl, it's o.k. sometimes things happen that are out of our control and money is sometimes a problem for everyone... everyone needs it and seems like there is never enough. maybe you should just take a breather ... eat as healthy as possible but focus on your stress levels... don't let it get out of control or you will be in a mess. i will say a prayer for you girl, sounds like you could use one. i'll keep you in mind but you just focus on you, the baby and your husband... get all that in order and everything else will fall in place. take care, lori

Lori is right, keep the stress down. You don't need to go gung-ho right now, just cut out the really bad stuff like sugar, refined flours and the really bad processed foods. Just maintain your weight and don't let yourself gain any more while your life settles down. You'll be in a much better place to tackle weight loss when you have moved. I wish you the best.

Stress and losing weight do not work together one cancels the other out. You don't necessary have to be on a diet in order to lose weight. Just try eating healthier and eating less. This can be done with everyday foods. Most of the time, it's not really what you eat, it's how much of it you eat. It's all going to work out in the end. I'm not following Atkins like I am suppose to either, but I am practicing portion control at all times. It was not too long ago, I was feeling the same way about not being able to drop the weight, but I took a long hard look at myself and I knew that I had more important things to think about. My success is not depended upon losing 20lbs. Once I realized that I was going to be fine reguardless if I lose or gain, I was able to eat to live and not live to eat. To be honest, It's really not as important to me as it was before to lose weight. I am healthy and that's all that really counts.
You are healthy, you look healthy and this is all you need to be to take care of your little man and to take care of yourself. The rest is secondary. Stay strong and I hope everything works out for you.
