We have 14-year-old twin boys (K14 and D14) and a 4-year-old son (S4.) The twins were adopted from a very bad background and, while we love them very much, they cause a huge amount of stress.
I know what you mean about stress eating. Just keep going and be as consistent as you can going forward. Fits and starts and great zeal make your life miserable, but consistency can accomplish almost anything. If you have a lousy day and gobble down some regrettable food, or if you're like me and stay up when you know you should be in bed recovering--and because you're up, you're snacking--just don't let that become an excuse to lose consistency. Go back to your plan and work it again the next day.
I don't know anything about Optifast. Is that some kind of meeting group, like Weight Watchers?
