Hello everyone, I am 47 years old and weigh 160 lbs. I gain most of my weight when I am stressed. I take care of my grandchildren ages 6 and 4 and also my husband that has end stage liver disease. It seem that I have stopped caring about myself and have dedicated my life to serving others. I am not complaning about taking care of then I just want to get back on track. About six months ago my weight was 140 lbs but every time someone gives me a complament I start eating. My husband has always been jelous and does not like the attention I get when I lose weight but I want to lose weight and am commited to losing the weight again. I dont get out much but having the support from this group I know I can do something about the weight. Thanks for listening

Hey Chochies,

I'm sure you'll find lots of information here and plenty of folks who understand. It does sound like you have a lot of stress! Golly! Do you have others who can help you?

The basics of weight loss haven't changed--watch what you eat and get some exercise--you'll see that there are many ways to do that if you look around the site here.

Good luck!
Jay
