[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gained around 20lb over the winter, eating my feelings as I navigated my divorce. I decided today was to be the day I knock it off already and reclaim my life (and body.)

I am 5’ 9”/170lb/41yo/F

Ideally, I’d like to lose all 20lb, but I’d be pleased if I could lose 15lb by June, which would have me feeling confident and motivated to lose the extra 5+.

I know protein is key, cutting sugar, upping water and fiber, more movement. [i]My main problem is emotional eating in the afternoon and evenings. [b]

I do light-moderate cardio (brisk walking outside) and moderate outdoor biking once it’s a little warmer.

I lift weights at the gym for about an hour, 3-4 days a week, but could implement some light at-home workouts if you think I need more.

It’s worth noting that I am NOT a fan of breakfast. I just don’t enjoy eating breakfast for the sake of eating. I typically have a Greek yogurt around 10am, which is when I am finally hungry, then a protein shake after, around 11-12, and then a light lunch around 2, usually something like cottage cheese with grilled chicken or chicken cold cuts and veggies. I prefer smaller snacks like this as opposed to meals. I have an actual dinner at 6. I head to bed around 10pm. I tend to do my mindless snacking between 7-9pm, and I hate this.

I’m really motivated to have a plan and make this happen. I’d love any advice you can give me! [/quote]
The solution to your main problem is to do something at that time which prevents you from eating at that time. I have a similar issue with emotional eating and laying around from 6pm to bedtime. I registered for a class which is 30 minutes away from my house, lasts one hour and doesn't involve food. The class meets 4 nights a week for 2 months. I hope this will break my bad habits and make me feel better in general.[/quote]
