Yup, I hear you. Since I am significantly less emtional re: h on a day to day basis, I thought I pretty much had it under control. Whoa! Now i see that I am still close to the starting point !!

Walking everyday in the beginning helped me & cutting down on (not 'out) carbs - I LOVE carbs btw, so it was hard! The metabolism stalls & could easily make you give up - eventually it will 'right' itself with persistence (IF for you, just saying what I did).
Meditation is going well so far & neuroscience is discovering how beneficial this is for us. Had trouble staying focused at one time but that's behind me
I do have friends and some encourage me to join them. My life is not always settled so where some are concerned, I have had to keep a safe distance. I am taking 25yrsmlc advice re making friends who do not know sitch.
Will pop over to your thread soon - my eyes are killing me right now!!! Again, thanks for the highjack!! Appreciate it, p.
