Post Traumatic Scale Disorder and the Challenges of the Winter Holidays

For those of us who suffer from Post Traumatic Scale Disorder the winter holiday season is extremely stressful. Did you know that the average weight gain during the winter holidays is 8-12 pounds? It's no wonder, with all the parties, and cookies, candy, drinking & celebrating….

One of the serious problems is that because of our disorder we may not have weighed ourselves for months… maybe even years.

So how will we know if we put on extra pounds?

Before I overcame my own Post Traumatic Scale Disorder I would only wear elastic waist pants. So there would be no clue about my weight gain since my pants stretched with my increased size. And remember I mentioned that I only looked in the mirror from the neck up? So no clue there.

And so it went on year after year after year November through January. Until that fateful day.

I was fortunate to have someone in my life who cared enough about me and told me about this amazing comprehensive health program.  I lost 50 pounds and this will be the fourth winter holiday season that I have been able to maintain my weight loss.
