    I'm 44. I'm a single mom...yep mom not single parent. I've felt so ALONE lately. My son is 7.
    He called me "Moo Moo Cow" yesterday. I was so hurt and angry @ him and @ myself.
    I've done this dance for almost 40 years and feel like it's never ending. I have at least 70 lbs to lose this time.
    So demoralized.

    Aww. I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt you. Kids don't have filters or a concept of all the subtlety of discussing weight with adults. He loves you! Give both of you a little grace.

    When I overeat or indulge too much with processed carbs I fast the next day for at least 5 hours. Works wonders for me. Baby steps.

    Great idea...thanks!

    Thanks. It's been a rough couple of weeks here. I have passed my calorie intake by leaps and bounds for today and haven't even had dinner yet! :(

    So I've surpassed my calories by a WHOPPING 1176 for the day.
    *Sigh* No wonder I'm huge.

    Turned 44 this week and I am looking to add more friends to help me keep motivated. I log everyday and would like to have pals willing to do more that just like my posts. I am looking for accountability buddies. I need to lose 60 pounds. I have only lost 9. Long road but I know I can do it. I would love to have some support and be able to give some back as well. This journey is hard but with great support the sky's the limit! ( Women over 40 only please).

    Thanks!

    @ChristinaLuv1215 don't fret - it's just one day. Figure out what caused you to surpass your calories and perhaps there's something that you can substitute that will be a better choice - find your balance.

    @dstory102 Welcome to MFP!

    I'll be 46 in two weeks! Yikes. I've lost 167 lbs so far and these last 10-15 I'm looking to drop are not budging!

    Just completed a 16 hour fast and am eating a small lunch of strawberries for now. I think I'm going to do the fast once or twice a week as long as I don't have a tennis match to play the next day. Really hoping to get in the 3 tennis matches I have to play this weekend but it is still raining here in MD...I think this is day 14 or 15 or rain here. When did we move to Seattle??

    I turned 41 in March, I am the biggest I have ever been. Need to loose 50 lbs. Hard to do, every time I start I always find a reason to give up. Having accountability partners would be wonderful.
