Since retiring i am heavier than I have ever been and am eating more. We eat healthy home cooked food but I have a sweet tooth and have a drink every night. I play badminton and tabletennis. Also do dancing. I have tried to lose weight, but as we socialise each week i find it too hard to refuse drink. I need to lose 1 st. Now Christmas is coming up where do I get the willpower to say No.
Hi and welcome, Benjoshsam 
Sometimes it's the choice of food/drink we make, that can lead to overeating, so have a look at these and see if they'll help healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

For me, the joy of socialising, is the company I keep, not the food and drink that's on offer

Hi Benjoshsam you have come to the right place where you will get so much support and encouragement. You will find people have lots of wonderful ideas which might help you. I can understand this is a difficult time of year to lose weight but keep coming here and hopefully you will find the willpower you need Sounds like you have a great social life and do lots of exercise. Maybe when you have a drink try having a glass of water with it as well. I find I have a drink and water so alternate between them. With the sweet tooth maybe you could try only eating half of a dessert or just keep cutting down bit by bit. Good luck on your journey to a lighter you
