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!

Great, thanks chemist will check it out!

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!
