I am 49 years old with a 7 and 9 year old. I just quit a stressful job to focus on my family and my weight loss. Ever since getting married at age 38 my life has been on fast forward having two kids, moving twice, getting my masters degree, and working in a new field for two years. I guess I always blamed my weight on too many stresses in the last 10 years, but I've realized it will always be something, so I need to just focus and not wait for the ideal situation. Actually right now is the ideal situation. I'm anxious about turning 50. I don't want my weight to be another source of anxiety!!!
