[quote=Anonymous]Op, how about seeing a dietician/nutritionist and a therapist? Both can be helpful...this is going to be a journey for you....a process that will take time. You need to probably also get a good checkup. Here's what helps me, 53, in throes of a difficult perimenopause.

1. I met virtually with a nutritionist over about 8 months to help identify what I was doing that was helpful and not helpful.
2. I intermittently learned to fast.
3. I see a therapist  and talk  about all my sh#t. I put it all out there and she helps me see my self defeating streak. It helps.
4. I exercise by biking and walking 3 to 4 times per week. Sometimes I don't meet the goal....but I restart now in a week or two, not two or three months. That helps too.
5. I also have started reading the beck book recommended prior. It's good. She points out, it's a mental game and there are thoughts you are having that you need to challenge
6. I got a complete hormonal workup and went on thyroid meds for a sluggish metabolism and other hrt, bio identical. You simply must sleep....I take progesterone for that, a testosterone cream and supplements. Hormones are an important element in your 50's. A workup might be very helpful.

You can get there but just take it one step at a time. I would start with a therapist and or nutritionist. Best wishes.[/quote]
