I have been controlling my weight since I am 13 years old when I started Weight Watchers. I have always maintained it until the last 2 years when I have gained at least 40 pounds. A lot of my problem is that I love wine. I drink some wine and then I get hungry.
5'3" 60 years old.

January 17, 2023. 2 years ago I stopped drinking and the weight just dropped off and I am back to the weight I was when I got married 38 years ago. Of course I keep my calories where they should be most of the time and got back into the routine of exercising which I had completely stopped. So it just wasn't not drinking but a combination.

Sleep problems
I am waking up every hour during the night. I limit my coffee and try to have a small snack right before bed. When I keep waking up eventually I get up and get something to eat and this is killing my goals. I am afraid if I keep this up I will gain the weight back. I had this problem years ago when I was in my 20's but it hasn't been an issue in 30 years. Up until two months ago I was sleeping like a baby. The only thing I have been doing different is I started taking probiotics.

Veggies
I find that with all the veggies I am eating my stomach is giving me a lot of trouble. Especially the lentils.

Wine is the problem
So here I am. I cannot believe that I gained so much weight. From the time I was 13 years old I have eaten a very healthy diet. 3/4 veggies and some chicken and fish. Always maintained between 105 and 110. Now I am 60 and Two years ago my life became very stressful and I started to drink wine at night after work to relax. And behold I gained about 50 pounds.
