desperate housewife

  • PLEASE HELP ME. I AM 62 years OLD AND RETIRED. SEEMS LIKE ALL I WANT TO DO IS EAT AND SNACK ON JUNK FOODS ALL EVENING. I REALLY DONT HAVE ANY HOBBIES AND AM GETTING FATTER BY THE DAY. PLEASE HELP ME STOP THIS BEFORE I GAIN MORE WEIGHT. MOLLY
  • good luck Molly! I find myself wanting to eat all the time too. Maybe some lower fat snacks will help. Christie's (kraft) have these new rice/corn chips that come in 4 flavors they taste like flavored rice cakes. Good luck!
  • Molly, try getting some exercise. If you can get the calories burning, you'll feel healthier and less likely to overeat. It's also very important for your bones and a healthy heart.
  • Hi Molly, I am a night time snacker too. I do fine all day, then at night, watch out! I am trying to get this undercontrole and the only thing that I have found that works is planning ahead what I'm going to eat. Making good choices on snack foods is a little difficult but it can be done. I'm 56 and most of the people I see here are much younger. Maybe we can give each other encouragement.

  • hi molly!
    i'm a big night time snacker too, especially after the kids go to sleep.
    i do try to keep myself busy, laundry, taking a walk, reading a book...sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't.
    one thing that does help me about 99% of the time is having a picture of myself on my fridge. embarassing to look at, but a good deterent!
    good luck!
