Hello, my name is Twinkle Toes, and I am a stress eater. There, I admitted it. Actually, I've known it for several years, but have been unable to overcome the grazing. My problem started at about 53, and I was so unprepared for it. Prior to hitting the magic number, I was always really thin...no matter what I ate. My knowledge about calories and diet food was zero. I still have a really hard time with it...nothing seems to be getting hard wired into my brain. OK, I've whined enough, especially since it's the same 10 to 15 lbs that I keep battling with. I gain it over the holidays every year when we visit the kids (DD and DIL vie over our time...whew!). I usually loose it by mid-summer and I do a decent job of keeping it off...until the holidays roll around.
Stats:
Age: 61
Weight: 139 (down from 143 at the end of the holiday visit (month of Dec)
Realistic Target Weight: 130; In My Dreams: 125
Height: 5' 5"
Exercise: Well, that's a problem...we travel all of the time...so, I walk the dog...I've bought several exercise DVDs (dance, yoga, walking...) Before we started traveling so much, I belonged to a gym and had an exercise room at home...and I was faithful about using them...can't seem to transition that into my nomadic lifestyle. I'm posting here to try to motivate myself to exercise at least 3 days a week...at least to start
BMI: 23.1 - within range, but my waist needs to be a couple of inches smaller to be within the proper ratio to hips
OK, that's my initial post...hope it's better next week...at least motivation and attitude...and maybe a pound or two less.
