Not looking forward to the last one leaving - fortunately have 4 years until that day comes. A sad day when the first child left the nest – so many mixed emotions.

Or follow the 80/20 rule. If 80 percent of the time you're eating great it's OK to have other things 20 percent of the time. Pick a cheat day.

Especially around the beginning of college starting. But oftentimes, it is just what they needed to get motivated and start losing weight. I don't know how it is other places, but in Houston, really Sugar Land, we see a lot of men that also are affected.

When my last 2 childeren headed off to college it was like, now what? But, it was an awakening that I wasn't getting any younger and needed to start living even healthier and look for other avenues to keep active. I really related to this arcticle.

Don't find comfort in food, you will regret it later. Best do like Brid says, you need a hobby. Not having a purpose anymore can be quite depressing.

And makes alot of sense. The same thing happened to me.. being a mother of 3 It never really "hit me" till the third left. But when you realize you'll be alone it really tends to hit... As you say even if they arent there it's just knowing they'll be coming home I guess. Great read tho and I think alot of people will relate to this. Great article. And makes alot of sense.
