Eating Disorders Support

but I'm in my mid-40s and I've put on 12-15 pounds over the past few years, so I'm overweight and my body composition is changing. Part of it is aging but part of it is my eating habits/declining rates of exercise. (I'm now 5'11", 181 pounds, up from 168-ish).

I've read bits and pieces about diets and always find a reason to not give them a try. One of the biggest challenges for me is late-night eating. I'm a night owl and my appetite seems to rev up later in the day (only a minor drive to eat prior to noon). Anyway, most of what I read says NEVER eat after 7 p.m or 8 p.m. so I just shrug and move on.

Yet your regimen allows for late-night eating, as long as it's potatoes so I wouldn't need to go to bed on an empty stomach. Maybe I'll give it a try. I have to get motivated to do something because, as I mentioned, I'm heading for bigger problems (literally) if I don't rein in my current trajectory.

Thanks for sharing this!
