Stress

[lady_kishiria]

My dissertation advisor wants me to re-write my presentation.

No word on the security clearance that I was told would be in last week.

My weight is officially out of control. I'm bulging out of a pair of pants that fit me last week and I don't know why.

Thoughts and prayers from here. Hope things settle down soon.

Are you aware of the effects of stress on weight (i.e., when you get really stressed, the body produces cortisol and SHUTS DOWN -oh joy- fat burning)?

Or else could it be related to peri-menopause? Where you are along in your cycle?

I know I'm not being a ray of sunshine, but I'm out of other possible suggestions.

Supportive hugs,
H.

You have my complete sympathy -- I'm in a similar case, although for different reasons. (Although I've also suddenly become all lumpy and bulgy in the last week as well, and likewise haven't a clue why.)
