Hello all,

I am new here my name is Nina, I am 40. I have struggled with my weight for a long time but since my husband suddenly passed away Jan 12 of this year I have been having a serious time over eating. I eat eat and eat, just so I don't have to feel sad, just so I don't have to miss him and it works for the few moments while I am eating, one of my down falls is also soda.. the doctor prescribed me Phentermine, I think it's been working somewhat it's been 3 days without soda and I have not been eating half as much as I normally would, I have about 100 pounds to lose. Does anyone want to be diet support buddies? I could really use some encouragements. Happy mother's Day!

    Hi Nina, I just felt drawn to say hi, I'm 45 and I lost my husband suddenly about 6 weeks ago. I completely understand the crushing sadness. I'm a bit the opposite with eating, I've gotten a bit too controlling over what and how I eat, but that's because of a long history of binge eating due to emotions and mental health, so I completely understand the struggles there, too.

    I don't usually do the friend thing on here, because there's not a lot of point (it only lets you send direct private messages) but if you want to add me so you can reach out, I may not be the best support, being that I'm also struggling, but I do get it and can try to be there.
