Hi Dinah,
It's probably the medicine. Do you have seasonal affective disorder (SAD)? Some SAD sufferers experience increased carbohydrate craving as well as increased depression at this time of year.
And don't forget, you've just been through several MAJOR traumas.
You'll probably be angry with me for suggesting this, but I'm going to suggest it anyway because it helps me so much. . . If you are able to exercise for about 30 minutes a day (brisk walking is fine; you don't HAVE to go to an expensive health club), that will probably relieve a lot of the anxiety that contributes to overeating.
