52 year old female, senior advocate, Ph.D., part-time professor, purple belt in karate, who is having trouble losing more weight after having lost 50 lbs in 2009. Mom to a teenage boy and a geriatric kitty. Wife to a sweet, wonderful, older man (62).

I've been gaining instead of losing. I keep staring a diet but then I over eat, get sugar cravings and uncomfortable, extreme hunger at 4 PM and around 8 PM even if I've eaten what should be enough.

Trying to figure it all out.
