I am so disheartened....I have gained 40 lbs. and just can't loose it. I am a compulsive overeater, and for the majority of my adult life I have keep my weight down...then when my ex-husband and I divorced after being married for 33 years, I gained the weight. I lost it by becoming a vegetarian....then when I stopped that, I gained that and more. No matter what I've tried I can't loose it, and I'm miserable....none of my clothes fit. It is so much emotion, although I am through the divorce, and have moved on. I eat for every reason...happy, sad, glad, mad...and not because I am hungry. I am grateful for this site....at least I can write to others that understand.
