Thanks Linda and Leenie I am glad to have found this place. I found a diet record sheet on the Women's day Online site.
It lets me keep a written record of time/food amount/ hunger level/(1Not hungry to 5 Ravenous)and Mood and feelings before and after eating.
Maybe none of this is new to you gals, but I have not made the effort up til now to figure these things out.
I really want to just feel healthier. My aim is not to get back my girlish figure. (of course if that is the side effect it would be ok)
Linda, was in San Jose about 4 weeks ago for my job. Beautiful area!
My worst time is at night, I seem to start my rounds in the kitchen at around 10:00, convinced I must find something good to eat. Usually spicey or crunchy. I don't seem to have a problem with sweets or pastry type stuff.
Isn't it funny how when you restrict yourself like on a diet, things you would never have touched before in the fridge or cupboard start to look good to you?
Well guess I will do some more investigating as for now it keeps me out of trouble!

I have been on anti d for 8 years and this year am finally getting it ( I think). It is a hard habit to break, but you can do this. I find keeping busy when I get the urge to stuff down feelings really helps.. coming here to post, writing an email to a friend, picking up a craft project, cuddling with my kitty or taking a lovely hot bath. You will find that exercise really helps!! I now get such an endorphin rush when I work out, that I really notice it when I don't. I am addicted to the feeling. Getting to this point took time.. it didn't happen over night that I started to like it, so don't feel badly if you start out hating it... I did. 
HI Cassie
