| Join a moms club. It is great support for parenting and relationships. You find out you are not alone in your problems. I have been in a moms club for almost 6 years and have made a lot of friends and we talk about those issues all the time and I know if I had marital problems I would not be alone.

| The phone call suggestions sounds good. I am sorry you are having marriage trouble, have you read the book the 5 love languages? Helped my marriage out. I also turn to the food when I am alone, or bored, and even more when stressed. It seems to be the only thing that is always there for me, sad I know. I wish I had more ideas for you, the only other thing I can come up with to help me is to go to bed earlier, cause I usually eat most at night. You can im me anytime though on aim, yahoo, or msn, same name as here, I chat with anyone. Good Luck.

I would suggest to try and workout. GO for a walk (even with your kids if you have to) I enjoy Tae-bo and doing the punches and kicks can really releave some stress.
Even Bob from the biggest loser is trying to get his team to workout after they lose a challenge so they don't rely on food.

Have you tried any meditation or yoga to help you destress. It might also help to get a clearer picture of what the problem with your marriage is, if you can set aside the time to just let your mind go. I know it's hard, I have 2 young boys. I don't get a chance to meditate all the time, but I try to when I am having a problem.
Good luck & think positive!

For starters you can come to the thread 'Ounce by Ounce'
With two daughters, how can you be alone? Are they in school?
Have you tried to find Spark people in your hometown?
Don't over whelm yourself. Pick one thing to do today. Walk to the cornor (or farther). Any one small thing. After you have done it post to this thread or to 'Ounce by Ounce'.

Do you have any friends you can talk to? Or possibly your mom, aunt or sibling? When I am stressed out about my relationship instead of heading to the fridge, I head to the phone and call someone AND now that I've started exercising I will turn on an exercise DVD or get on the treadmill. I try to keep my mind off food.
I don't know exactly what is going on in your relationship but you may need to seek professional help like a marriage counselor, therapist. Just reading your post it sounds like you are more lonely than anything. Go out and meet new people maybe through work or volunteer (if you aren't working).
I hope you keep posting, SP is also a great place to meet new friends. Send me a private message if you want to talk more...

| So I am thinking that now may not be the best time for me to try losing weight. I am having serious issues in my marriage and it seems that every time I get down or fight with my husband I turn to food. I know deep down that I shouldn't, but being a truck drivers wife, I am alone all the time and it seems that food is the only thing I can turn to. I seem to be gaining weight instead of losing and that just seems to be compounding my issues. I really need to do something, but I'm just not sure what it is. If anyone has any ideas on how I can stop turning to food, please help me!
