Grief Weight???

I never knew that you could gain weight due to grief, but I think I am a perfect example of it.  When I had Ashlyn I lost about 25 lbs in the couple of months she was alive.  I was looking forward to breastfeeding helping to take off a few more.  Then that became pumping because Ashlyn just didn't understand breastfeeding.  The look she always gave me was "you have got to be kidding".  Anyway, back to the weight.  Now I have gained back almost all the weight I have lost and it just seems to stick there.  Nothing like adding to my stress, which is probably adding to my weight.  It is just a vicious circle.
