S/C/G: 0/37/35-50 lbs lost

Default Help!
Hi. I'm in my 50's dealing with hormones/ thyroid/ prediabetes and an empty nest. I always used to be able to rely on humor to get me through but it seems to have left the building. I'm not at my "all time high" weight but I do weigh more than I did before I delivered the creatures that have had the nerve to grow up and leave my nest. My husband is still around but frankly he only weighs about 10-15 lbs more than when we got married and is getting on my nerves. And to top it all off, the 9 lbs I spent 3 months losing came back on in 2 weeks. I've lost what little energy I had built up and my sense of humor. Last night I drowned my sorrows in peanut M&Ms. I am fantasizing about Dove Promises milk chocolate pieces (the ones wrapped in foil with little sayings to cheer you up - like I need those to make me buy them?!) Can someone talk my off the chocolate ledge?

Hi, welcome to 3FC

We have a support forum for 50+ if you are interested! Of course you are welcome to post in every forum that looks interesting, just jump right in If you decide to check them out too, you can go here http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/age-50-217/

I'm with you with the chocolate cravings. I went through a phase where I wanted a piece of dark chocolate very day. The news was filled with all sorts of health info about dark chocolate, so of course I had to have it. I kept it in the freezer because frozen chocolate bothered my sensitive teeth, so I had to pull it from the freezer and take the time for it to come to room temp before I could eat it. Sometimes I put it back But in truth, I just don't care much for dark chocolate. Maybe that's the trick, buy dark instead of milk

Good luck!
