Hi Everybody!
I'm Kathy, 69 yo, been divorced for awhile and have finally learned how to live by myself. Most of my adult life was spent on dieting of one type or another. And of course the older I got the harder it was to keep off the weight.
When my husband first wanted a separation I freaked out, lost all my will for living and food as well. I went from 220 to 160 in a matter of a couple months. I just couldn't force anything down my throat. After the divorce actually happened I did nothing but sleep (my kids were all out of the house) and feed my cat. Eventually I started to take some interest in the world around me and I started eating again. Then food became my comfort and I ballooned up again. I am an emotional eater and a stress eater.
My story is so long that I couldn't fit it all in here but about 2 1/2 years ago I finally started getting my head together. I started eating right, got rid of long-standing allergies and took an interest in the world. For a long time I didn't lose weight but now it is starting to come off slowly...so slow
Any I stumbled across this site and thought maybe it would be nice to chat with like minded ladies (and guys). Whew, that was long winded!
