I am 63 years old and weight 260 pounds...I have been a widow for almost 7 years and have gained alot of weight, food fills the void.

I retired at 60 so I could move back home to be close to my 2 grown children and their familes. Each son has 4 children so they have lives of their own and are very busy with work & their own families. I am very independent so I don't expect my children to keep me occuppied all the time.

I have not had a date since my husband died,,I tell myself it's because I am so picky but I know inside it's because I am so self-conscious about my weight, I don't give anyone the chance to get close to me..I'm afraid someone will notice I am FAT..so I eat..

I am so glad I found this site..
TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE

I started dancing at the senior centers but have had foot surgery so I have not been able to dance for about 3 months...so guess what.. not being able to do much ..I eat..food never lets me down..
