[quote=Anonymous]Over the last 5-6 months, I’ve put on about 6 pounds, adding to the 15 or 20 I already needed to lose. I’m 5’4 and 162. I’m 45 and highly successful in most areas of my life: happy, kind kids, great marriage, wonderful old and new friendships.

I’m also doing “well” at work. Late last summer, I was promoted to a highly visible position within the firm, a job I actually initially turned down and didn’t want. They asked me to reconsider and I ended up taking it, mainly because of the fear of the career repercussions of saying no again (I was offered and negotiated the position with my then boss’s boss). But now, I work a lot, can’t do the morning walks I had previously been doing before starting the job and I get home from the office exhausted (I never WFH during Covid, always in person). I can exercise in the evenings time-wise but energy-wise it’s dicey!

All that is TLDR, sorry. Bottom line, where do I start? Without me doing something, obviously this is only going to continue to go in the wrong direction. Any good meal planning website recommendations? What about noom, has that worked for anyone? 20 years ago I completed a few marathons but now I’m almost afraid to try to run, is walking enough? I just feel huge, tired and old. And then I feel guilty for feeling this way, as I have absolutely everything in the world and didn’t just leave my home and country with my kids, leaving my husband behind to fight Putin.

Arghh, can anyone relate? What do I do? Where do I start, today? Thanks in advance.[/quote]
