O.K. Bill- you need some nagging and this Island gal can do it! What is your base caloric intake per day? When do you get it? Are you getting nutrition by mouth only now? Those are the nutrition questions we need answers to.
Question #2 and OBSERVATION #2. You have sent your whole support system away and you are alone there- Seems to me like a BIG depression problem. Turn that house over to a real estate agent and get the hell out of Dodge. Money does not always equate happiness. I know that, at heart, you are a giver- I have gotten lots of good vibes from you over the past year. Give yourself permission to beat this food battle. Since food may no longer be a pleasure part of your life- find something to take its place. That is what survivors do. And get out of Florida and to the people you love. Amy
