Hi Deb, Yes, the weight loss was a side affect of my "worrying". Some people eat more when they are worried or depressed. I ate (usually) once a day. I didn't have an appetite at all. I also always tried to make exercise a priority in my daily schedule. Our driveway is almost a half mile long. So early in the morning I would walk the driveway up and back and in the evening I would walk around the neighborhood...anywhere from 2-4 miles. Making sure that I got that exercise really helped my stress levels. I did an awful lot of praying and ALSO chanting to myself what you were talking of just yesterday..."Let Go And Let God!" during my walking times. The good thing is that I have been able to keep that weight off. I just continue to watch how often I eat and try to exercise at least three times a week.
Walking is GREAT exercise! Maybe you could alternate between doing that and "taking off on your mini-ramblings" while your H is gone at "work" or running his "errands"?
