New Member - 52 & Trying to Kick Diabetes:tongue

Hello Everyone.
I am a 52 year old female diabetic who needs to lose weight and work on kicking diabetes.
I work full time. I am married 29 1/2 years, have 3 grown daughters, 1 grandson and 1 dog.
I need support in dealing with stress and finding other things to do besides eating. It seems to be a chain reaction. If I talk to someone on the phone at work who stresses me out I'm looking for something to eat.
Am I crazy or do others have this same issue?
Please respond if you see where I'm coming from and can offer a good alternative to eating to handle stress.
Thanks,
Janis with an S
