Hi LN,
meditation! I've been dabbling in that myself, it does help.
Also if you're a dog person I do recommend having one. Puppies take a ton of time and energy, but an older dog from your local shelter could really use a home I'm sure! Mine sleeps with me at night and really provides comfort and they're always doing something funny to distract me. I walk them daily which is a great stress reliever and of course good exercise. A dog obedience course is a good way to get out and be social too, I did one for 6 weeks and you do meet some other people and it can be part of your GAL. You seem to be doing pretty great on your own, a dog is a big commitment for sure. I can tell ya that they don't MLC on ya and leave! wink unconditional love. *sigh* I know what you mean about dinners alone, I have lost 22 lbs since january mostly because i'm not cooking for 2 anymore and just try and eat something simple. That's a shame you found out about OW like that and it's only natural to be set back. I think a lot of us get stuck on "letting go" we're not light switches, can't just flip it off and be over it. try and stay positive, you're doing great.
