[quote=Anonymous]I'm 48, and in the last year, I've gained 12 lbs.  I'm shorter and small boned, so it's a significant gain on my frame.  Considering my weight has never fluctuated much beyond 5-8lbs, and I've always been on the slim side, it's a big change for me.

I started a job in the last year, which keeps me more sedentary. I also stopped running, when I used to run at least 3x a week.  I also have not been great with eating - meaning, I will get so busy I'll skip meals, and then I crash and then I just stuff my face with whatever is around because I feel like I'm going to faint.

I just started back on a healthier routine with sleep, eating, and exercise. Still not running or working out like I used to, but it's better than what I've been doing in the past year. I've never dieted, at least not on purpose. But now I'm at the point when I really just feel heavier, slower, and not liking the way my clothes fit or the way my face looks puffier. And I feel like I need some tips to get back on track.

I'm looking for something sustainable, and works with my busy schedule.  Any tips?  I'm thinking I'm going to start making my own meals that's different than what I feed my family.  My kids are on a high fat and high calorie diet per doctor's orders.

i've started eating more regularly last week.  I've started eating breakfast again, with mixed results.  If I eat when I wake at 6am, it actually makes me famished for a full meal, around 10:30am. Whereas before, I wouldn't have an appetite until around 10am, and then I'd eat a snack around 2 and I'd be fine until dinner. And even though I've been eating healthier, I think this has made me gain several pounds in the last week.

I feel like my body is all out of wack. Advice appreciated.  The goal is to lose 10lbs, and maintain a healthy eating and exercise routine.
