Mr.S. I'm sending you butterflies of calm and gentle awareness. I hope that your stress is reduced soon!

I'm no pro, but I think when the adrenal system, which is involved in stress, is elevated, the metabolism speeds up. While this can lead to weight loss, even more energy, it can not be maintained and can lead to other problems. Be careful and aware of how you feel - I think all of my illness was really caused by adrenal stress. I'm taking a variety of herbal, homeopathic and botanical remedies, including one that directly supports the adrenal system with a precise combination of B vitamins, some herbs I've never heard of, and even bovine adrenal gland.

DH recently lost a whack of weight due to stress. The stress was reasonably short term - maybe a couple of weeks - and he took advantage of the way he was feeling to ramp up his exercise program, so the weight loss has maintained and even continued. He looks great, now!

Do try to get back to your exercise program - it will help you feel better in so many ways!

Hugs and butterflies,
