Quit smoking 7 years ago after 25 years of smoking, haven't drank since the Tinder incident, and have lost 10 lbs in the last month. So I don't have any excuses not to have self control here.
Whoa. You have been dry for what, a week? And all LBSs lose tons of weight. It comes with the territory. Eating and snacking just aren't a priority when you are obsessing over how to save your marriage.
Just read something that I already knew, but it is still so eye-opening. Rutting bucks lose 25% of their body weight during the rut. The rut usually lasts 6-8 weeks. In that time bucks barely eat. Their waking hours are consumed with finding and breeding "hot" (ie in season) does, and fighting off their competition. (Hmmm, sounds a lot like LBSs after bomb day!) They then spend the post-rut trying to fatten up again to prepare for the harsh winter months when food is scarce.
So the self-control doesn't come into play in losing weight during the thick of your sitch, it does in not gaining it all back once everything is settled.
