    hi Donna @8g84b8vxvs ( that’s a mouthful to type!)


    welcome to MFP.

    I did the same thing, but spent a couple of years stuffing my face even more than usual, depressed, because I didn’t want to retire. I took boredom eating to epic heights.

    When I snapped to some common sense, I decided to take the attitude “I am my new full time job”. I poured the energy I would have poured into work, into me. Reading here, learning food and snack substitutions, visiting a dietician, choosing to walk and ultimately work out, actually going through the store and reading labels. 😱

    I was good at what I did before retiring, and turns out, I am good at being good to me, too!

    Retirement is an opportunity, not the end of all things.
