Hi! I am an overweight single 53 year old soon to be first-time Grandma! I really want to be healthy for myself and my Granddaughter. I work fulltime in a high stress job and work quite a bit of overtime.

I am sick and tired of always feeling tired!! A couple of years ago I let my best friend move in with me because she was having financial difficulties. I thought it would be great and help us both out with weight loss and fitness, as she is also overweight, but it has actually had the opposite effect.

So now I am reaching out for support here.

Besides my weight and health, I feel like my job and life are out of control in a lot of ways. I feel like I am always drowning in an overwhelming life.

Anyone feel this way?? Any advice??

Welcome LisaRay!

I'm sorry life is so overwhelming at the moment, it sounds like you have alot on your plate! I think taking control of your health can only help you -- eating well, managing your weight, maybe doing some stress-reducing exercise and meditation -- these things can all help you feel more in control of the world around you!

Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your first grand child!
