Fat and 50

I have always had difficulty keeping weight off. Except during the 1980's when cocaine was my drug of choice. Since then I have tried The Atkins Diet, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, The Fat Flush, Detoxing, Electronic Muscle Stimulation also known as Bailine (very expensive but did work until they closed the business--worth every penny to me, by the way) and many others that I have forgotten or were so awful I have totally blocked them from my memory. I truely believe that it all boils down to diet and exercise (Whaaaaa! Small tear rolling down my face) Did I mention I'm VERY lazy. That my motto is "The Queen doesn't cook", which I try to live by in every possible case. I will eat out at every possible opportunity and the fact that I have no money saved for my retirement well into my 50's is partially because I spent it all going out to eat. Some friends have had success with the HCG Protocol but when I tried it myself I gave up. It wasn't so much a hunger factor (I wasn't) but a mental factor. I was used to eating a certain way and it was very difficult to change that. Hmmmmmm--wondering about trying to get a group together for support.
