Hi All,
I've been on this site for a few months and am looking to make some friends with similar goals. I'm 47 and want to make peace with food. Like so many others, I've been at war with food and my body for years. Although I don't have a large amount to lose, I'd like to learn how to eat in a way that I can sustain long term instead of riding the weight roller coaster. In the past, I would set a number I wanted to get to then diet hard to get there. I wanted to reach goal quickly and would restrict calories rigidly so that I felt deprived. I would be a "diet martyr" until I could no longer take it and would then break down and overeat. Of course, then I'd be so angry with myself and quit, believing that I just didn't have the discipline to be successful. As I near 50, I just can't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result. It's time to take the path of moderation and I could use support.

    This should all be about life enhancement...not deprivation. It is possible.
