Week 7? Sounds like you're at least getting close to the downhill side of this...

Hang in there, manage the stress, and you'll be fine. If you were losing weight before, you will again.

Each person finds what works best for them, but in general a lot of the information above will get you on the right path.

Another general rule I didn't see mentioned was that some methods teach that a meal will tend to keep you full if it includes fiber, protein, some good carbs and a small amount of fat. I have found this to work well for me.

Under eating can lead to binge eating, so don't try to eat too little, try to eat the right amount of the right foods.

And drink water, before, during and after your meals...

FInd ways besides food to:

1) comfort yourself

2) relieve stress

3) reward yourself

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I think I at least have a game plan for now.

BeckyW,
7 weeks down, and 11 months to go.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Happy to hear that the training is good at least Nothing worse than poorly trained nuke personel (The Russians found that out, along with the results of crappy design!)

Yeah, get out and do some hammerfests to deal with the stress and give yourself some mental disconnect. I do this before and after difficult exams, and while planning out papers. I often get my best creative thinking done on the subconscious level as well.
