> I'm not sure it matters whether or not you're relapsing. You're going through a tough time and getting some help might...help! Maybe this is one of those zen, "beginner's mind" moments? Anyhow, I agree with Sar and Glenn....
>I agree with Paula. We each deal with stress differently. Some people will eat during stressful times others don't . Me I snack constantly when bored, but when busy or stressed forget all about food. I keep nutritious and also high calorie snacks for those moments and have to make an effort to eat if my weight slips. (After my third child this really hasn't been an issue though, now I look more like the women from the Renaissance period.)
Needless to say we are social animals. Jena don't suffer alone. Yes get a professional to help, they know warning signs better then well intentioned friends. But also get a social safety net in your new town, at a pace which is comfortable for you. And of course we're always out here in the cyberworld if you need a shoulder to lean on.
Best Wishes
