    Along w/ trying to stop drinking...I need to lose weight..

    I just posted a "help" about needing support w/ stopping drinking however, I am also in need of losing weight. Where to start? I use to be so tiny, I am 31, and until 2 yrs ago, I was almost 5'9", and only 125lbs.. and now...dealing w/ the stress of a failed marriage, and being a single mom, I have taken to alcohol and insane amounts of food. I have put on almost 50lbs in two years and don't know how to stop....any thoughts? How do I push away the burgers and chips and Taco Bell and such?? :

    No way NRM......thats my story! Be unhappy in your marriage......overdrink/overeat......Work through seperation and divorce....overdrink/overeat....Teenage worries without support.......overdrink/overeat.....stress of owning small business......overdrink/overeat.....and on and on. Always in that order too. It got to the point where I liked beer best on an empty stomach to get the buzz quicker. Used to be just because I liked the taste. gabby

        HI, NRM. I too put on an enormous amount of weight when I went through my divorce. Only fortunate thing there was I wanted out and my daughter was going to start college. That last year, when I told my ex he was leaving, I got really fierce and strong. Lost 50 lbs. I am 5'9" also. Probably older than you - I'm 50 now, did that five years ago. Atkinfriends.com is a great site for losing weight. That is what I used.

        I have since met a new SO, been together 3 years in October but he is a drinker, too. Plus I had a house fire last year and still cleaning up, fixing up ... so I started drinking too much again and overeating, the wrong foods, and late at night. I also exercised to Richard Simmons, who I despised but now I like him and it worked. I need to get back on that program cuz now I have high cholesterol and lord knows what else. Going to see doc about it in about two hours. Posted but no responses (sigh).

        The board helps, I downloaded the book, bought the CDs, taking supps and vitas but no Topa or Campral. I've only made it four days in a row at a time so far but I have not given up hope.

        Hang in there - stay on the board when you can.
        Peace
        Cathy

          Thanks for the kinds words Cathy

          Wow...we are about in the same boat...I just haven't reached the "get me back" point...which I need to....went and bought South Beach Diet meals tonight and having a drink....Milk w/ Ovaltine...much better than what I did days ago. Discovering it is time to take ME back, my life, my everything..It is MY life and I want to look good again and I am facing that I am stronger than the darn alcohol. I have to much going for me to not follow through. It was nice hearing from you, write me sometime..keep ya posted on my progress if you do the same.
