Hi and welcome, Zigfield

My condolences for the death of your husband, that must have been very difficult for you. I hope you have friends and family that are supporting you through such a difficult time.

Maybe these could help to get you back on track with your healthy eating?

Hi welcome, condolences to you.

I have not lost a loved one like you but I still use food as my crutch. I eat when happy and when Sad I eat just because I can🤷‍♀️ Not good 😏

It is a habit ,one I am really hoping to change for good too.

Where are you based? Do you have easy access to walks in green spaces?

I have been comfort eating too during lockdown and my weight is out of control. First I would start to write down what you eat each day that helps

Comfort eating is so hard to stop. I know I am in that cycle at the moment. I really want to break this and stop eating during the evening and thinking which shop is still open to buy sweets and ice cream. I have wardrobes full of clothes I can’t get into, so I slop around on the same old things.

I know I love clothes too, but I've to squeeze into most of mine,
