I'm with you all--gained 50 lbs. in the last 4 years. My husband said he no longer found me sexually attractive which sent me into a severe depression (bp 1) & I overdosed. He took me to the ER. Now we just don't talk about it. It's the pink elephant in the room. I have gone to a doc specializing in weight loss & found out I have low thyroid, insulin resistance, "metabolic syndrome", plus quit smoking 3 years ago & went through menopause--I'm 52.

But I'm feeling desperate about my weight. I,too, binge & just plain eat more than is physically nourishing. It somehow numbs me, calms me (& I take meds for anxiety!). I'm hoping that we can encourage each other. It has taken a really big toll on my self-esteem, as you can imagine. And, yes, people my age do actually have & enjoy sex! We had a very good sex life before I started gaining.--Suzy
