I don't know what happened, or what's been happening, but since Nov, I've gained 6 pounds!

I just don't know what's going on. I've been decluttering the house like mad, and feeling great about it. But, now it's like my body is being cluttered instead! I don't have any regrets at all for decluttering, but obviously, there's something inside me that needs something. I've actually been telling my husband that I've been doing alot of comfort eating lately, I just don't know why.

For the past 3 months, I've been dealing with a very sick little boy, lots of tension and very little sleep. I started a habit of settling down at night with a glass of wine (filled with ice) to relax and prepare for whatever the night dealt me. Then I started having pretzels or popcorn with the wine. It became very comforting to me. (I wasn't getting drunk or anything like that!) So, I know that that's had a lot to do with it. Now I find myself in a bad behavior pattern that although seems like it should be easy to stop (my son finally had surgery and is all better!) it's not. I'm still finding comfort in these late night snacks. Even though during the day I'm looking and feeling horrible. It's amazing how 6 pounds can just make me feel so uncomfortable. Everything's tight and I just don't feel good.

I'm not even sure why I'm writing. Maybe just for some support or encouragement? I think I've been decluttering to help deal with all the stress, but then comfort eating to calm down and relax. Whatever the reasons, it's a bad cycle I'm hoping to break.

Does any of this make sense?
