Major life changes/events, 8 lb gain 😞

F 43, 5’1”, SW: 211, CW: 179, GW: 125

I’ve had the craziest last few months. In less than 60 days, the following occurred:

1. We closed on a house
2. We moved to a different state
3. I moved my father from his home to permanent assisted-living
4. I had to represent my sister in a civil court matter as her power of attorney
5. I went back to graduate school (already planned and paid for prior)
6. I had a major health scare that thankfully was only temporary and has been resolved

I had lost 40 pounds… From 211 to 171. Now I am back up to 179. I know this is a temporary setback that has come from incredible stress, not being able to work out the last 90 days like I usually do, and quite frankly running back-and-forth so much I wasn’t eating right.

I am sure I’m not the only person who has ever gone through an incredibly stressful time like this. I know I’ll take the weight back off, that’s not the issue. How do I get over the mental dismay of those 8 pounds?

I appreciate any insight, and yes, things are finally calming down!! (I need like 20 naps).
