I recently moved up on a small farm with my daughter and husband after my wife died. The work I do up here like a big garden, cutting the farm with my old 53 Ford tractor, cutting trees and brush, physical activity for sure 6 days a week and the diet has saved my life, at least I think so. I think my stoke and heart attack made me face facts as well. I am running on all cylinders now.
Hope u don't mind me jumping in here.Sorry to hear about your loss.Working 6 dys/wk on your farm is the best medecine imo.People trying to lose weight often forget(or don't know)that physical activity is important not only for losing weight,but emotional health as well.BTW a big mac or qtr lb'er w/out the fixins? That's like a big plump glazed jelly donut w/out the jelly.When i'm in diet mode i have to avoid McD's,BKing,etc altogether:)
