Shocking, and definitely traumatic. I'm so sorry.

Others have commented on stress/cortisol and weight gain, but there is far more to it than just that. I'll dig up some of my bookmarks, etc. and I think I'll start a whole thread on the subject, but in the meantime let me say this:

Your body knows what it's doing, how to heal itself. What it needs are the right inputs (the right foods -- and not a starvation diet) and a cessation or removal of the wrong things. What appears to be or has been labeled malfunctions or dysfunction (fever, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, weight gain, etc.) when seen from that perspective (paradigm) really isn't.

In short, your weight is NOT due to any personal failings or weaknesses, not even if you're an overeater -- and there are studies to support my statement. So you (and I, and anyone else who's overweight) can drop the self-blame, self-hatred, sense of humiliation, etc. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!

Sending love and blessings -- !
