I have been dieting for about two months and am losing weight. I have a significant amount to lose.

About two weeks ago I f'd up and one night I ate pizza and two cupcakes. I went right back to eating right and at a calorie deficit. I told myself these things happen and to just let it go.

However, last night I ate Chinese food. I was craving it and it tasted great. Today I am back on the deficit and eating right.

I'm concerned that since I did this twice already, I'll keep giving myself passes and then I'll end up back from where I started from. Especially with the temptations the holidays bring.

What are some strategies to avoid these situations? I would say the reason for my going off my diet was stress related. For example I thought I had a stressful day so some food will help.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

My very old online dating story. When I was young, before the internet, there were other dating tools that people used such as personal ads and the radio. Yes the radio. And yes, I tried it.

I'm from the Boston area which was rich in radio talk shows. Everything from cooking, politics, lifestyle and dating. There was show on WRKO, 68 on the dial every Saturday. It was called Hotline hosted by Dick Siatt, who pioneered the genre.

You would call in and talk about yourself on air and then given a number. Anyone interested would call off air and provide their phone number and you would talk and see if you want to meet up. I tried it. It was a disaster.

The first guy I met was divorced but was being questioned in his ex wife's mother's suspicious death. He was weird. The other time was someone who got very drunk and was stalking Christen Hirsch, a member of the band Throwing Muses. He moved to another state just to be close to her and had a restraining order against him. I'm huge into music so that was why we "matched."

Just thought I would share a little funny history of the world before OLD. I called it a day after that.

Can someone point to a dating over sixty glossary of terms? I see a lot of acronyms that I have no idea what they mean. It took me so long to figure out OLD😂. I tried Google and a.i. but not seeing them. Or what the f is cuffing? Or chuffing... I dont know.😂

My sister is having open heart surgery next week. I'm 61 and she is 67. I had not heard from her in a few years and she called me a few weeks ago to tell me. I have been very supportive and sent her some gifts, and talked to her on the phone when she calls and have been helping her sort out some things. I told her I would be with her husband at the hospital on the day of surgery. But she is demanding, needy, anxious and has rage and BPD. I love her and wish her well, but all down through the years I was the one who suffered her rage. After our mother died we disconnected. Not because I wanted to but because I finally said no to her. Years ago I gave her some things she wanted and and then asked if she wanted to go for lunch and she said no she didn't want a relationship with me.

Fast forward to today and she now needs me and wants me to visit her and be with her but I just can't. She gives me so much anxiety because of the rage and that she never wants me to be happy. I tend to be the caregiver in the family and I dont want to play that role ever again (I was begginning to with her but stopped myself). Her surgery is scary for her but routine and I know she'll be fine. She has her husband and close friends.

Am I being a jerk distancing myself? I just can't see a way to do what she wants and keep myself healthy. The anxiety is off the charts when I deal with her. Dont get me wrong, she is a very good person, but for me... there's turbulent history and we didn't grow up close due to trauma in childhood.

Started keto diet 3 weeks ago with calorie deficit and increase of protein and reduction in carbs. All was going well and I'm a little hungry at bed time, but no problem. But last night I was STARVING but ate the same things as before. Is this normal? I did eat a lot of pasta foods before. And I think I inadvertently reduced a lot of fat intake when starting diet. Most of the protein I eat comes from lean meat sources and whey powder for protein shakes.

Is it normal for you to be so hungry when starting keto? My calorie deficit was not too drastic.

Hello, I have a general inquiry. I understand that looks matter at any age when dating. Physical attraction or "chemistry" is part of the dating equation.

When you date over 60, do most people understand that you will have bumps and lumps and wrinkles and lines? I'm not talking about if someone is physically fit or not. But just that we don't look like we did when we were young.

I look my age at 62. Therefore I've got the usual standard signs of aging. For me I am very much attracted to men in my age group. So I like the look that comes with it. Hair, no hair, love handles, etc. I haven't dated in years. So is anyone judgemental about those things? Just curious.
