Default Fed up and posting for first time

I am in my mid-50s and have struggled with my weight since college. I generally had an extra 10-20 pounds on my 5'2" frame, but bw depression, the stress of battling an incurable cancer for the last 8 years and other personal issues, I have watched the scale climb. 2 summers ago as a result of side effects of my cancer drugs, I weighed just 117 and couldn't keep anything in. Now that that side effect has been eliminated, the weight is piling on and I was up to 150. There are a lot of psychological reasons why I eat too much.

I wonder if any of you could direct me to a few posts that you think could help me get started in a different frame of mind. I am a bit overwhelmed by all the options and don't quite know where to start.

I have been thinking about attending an OA meeting locally but wonder if there is an online support group for that here?
Thanks for any help! Xxxx fed up

Fedup1120, I think Chicks in Control might be a good place to start for you. They do have an OA section over there!

Welcome, Fedup. Very sorry to hear about the cancer. There is a section of the board called "Dieting with Obstacles" that may offer some insights.

Glad you joined us!
