Hey there! I have also gained my weight because of emotional eating from the stresses of college, partially. I decided at the age of 40 to return to college to work in the healthcare industry. This is my fourth year, I ran the whole gamete of types of classes, from human resource development to continuing ed. to now, curriculum. It has been very difficult with lots of adjustments. I also put too much pressure on myself to make all A's. My college is on a 7 , not 10 point scale, ugh! If I have a 92.99, that's a B, not an A. Makes it that much harder to maintain a 4.o GPA.
Food has been my crutch, one I do not think I need anymore, and I know I do not want anymore.
I am hopeful this site will provide me with support and validation. Thanks to all!
