Trying to beat the instant gratification of unhealthy but tasty food and drink

I’m 61 years old and this is my second serious attempt to use MFP to improve my health and lose the considerable amount of weight I’ve gained since a rare type of heart attack 8 years ago. Life has been very chaotic and stressful in the last four years, with two house moves, a near-divorce, and gaining childcare responsibilities for two new grandchildren. To top this, I am now facing the huge challenge of a full renovation, having downsized a year ago, and dreading the thought of my life turning upside down when the builders begin in a few weeks time. My willpower is at rock bottom, but I’ve joined a new gym and started a new programme today. I really must lose 10-15kg now because I just don’t feel like myself anymore, can’t bear all my clothes becoming too tight, and hate being over 60 😢😢😢
