[quote=Anonymous]I agree that struggling to lose weight is often demoralizing. After almost a lifetime of being able to eat whatever I wanted - and definitely developing stress/emotional eating habits, which I saw as not so bad as the addictions all the rest of my addictive personality family engaged in - my weight went haywire after going into surgical menopause at 40 in the midst of a super high stress job AND a years long vitamin deficiency that doctors couldn’t figure out. Now I’m 50 with substantial weight to lose and I really want to lose it so I don’t have the pain and limitations that I’m experiencing from carrying all this extra weight.

I’m doing intermittent fasting which I tolerate very well - I like that it doesn’t demand any restrictions of food categories, although I am cutting back on carbs and sugars.

To get past the depressing bit and the lack of motivation, I signed myself up to Healthy Wage. I’m investing monthly the equivalent to my prior junk food habit, and if I meet my responsible weight loss goal in the time I’ve allowed - a healthy time frame - I will win thousands on top of getting my investment back. There’s a whole support community on Facebook which is also nice, but for me the wager approach is very compelling because I’m not great at taking care of myself ‘just because’, but like most people I’m very motivated by money.

Maybe you should check out Healthy Wage. Good luck, anyway. [/quote]
