Hi Deb - I love reading your journal, plus your blog. I understand that right now you're sick, and don't feel like eating much. However, you are often sleep deprived because of your young family, and I found that when I worked night shifts as a nurse, that it would put my appetite into overdrive! I read an explanation about it somewhere, regarding the brain, due to one's body being screwed up due to erratic sleep. So perhaps that is why you are having trouble losing weight, due to a larger appetite than would be normal for you. I really don't know how much you are eating, just thought I would mention the sleep thing.
