Need Support

Hello. I need to reach out to others for support. I need to lose around thirty pounds. I have dieted all of my life. Well since I can remember. I love food,but never really enjoy it. If I am not dieting,then I feel guilty about everything I eat. If I am trying to lose weight, then I feel worried and guilty. I am hoping I can learn to have a healthy relationship with food and my body. I would appreciate any help and/or support. I know the magic formula...eat less than I burn. I am hoping at 54 I can finally become healthy and enjoy the blessings in my life. Thanks for reading.

    Hi.

    if you want to try something currently short-term, @MoStacy is looking for people for her Holiday Motivation Challenge (25 or more days of exercise / activity in the 31 days between now and Christmas). I would LOVE some company. Since it is so new, this would be a chance to suggest / shape the community thread. If we bond as a group, maybe we can continue on past the initial paramaters.

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10707982/holiday-motivation-pump-it-up#latest

    My intro is over there. MoStacy is also in her 50's and I just turned 60.

    Also, I would suggest either December Ultimate Accountability Challenge or Fat2Fit Challenge/ Support. I am in both and they both have very wide-ranging age groups / journey points. Read the intro to both and see if either might suit your style.

    Both open registrations about now for the next month's session.
