I'm 40 years old.
Hot flashes, mood swings, anxiety/fear, heart palpitations, nervousness, insomnia, digestive problems, heavy periods with clotting, hair loss, getting 1 giant pimple the size of a dime each month, dry skin, and generally feeling frustrated and hopeless? Tell me I'm not losing my mind... so I can tell my husband his wife is not going insane.

I just started hormone replacement and I was hoping I'd feel better quicker. How long do you suppose this will last? It probably started much earlier, but since I was on anti-depressants for so long, I didn't feel the effects of most of these symptoms. Thanks

If you were on anti-depressants before then you most likely still need those. Estrogen therapy is not the cure all. YOu are obviosly in peri-menopause. You need to go back to your doc and have them re-evaluate your condition and your meds as you may need to be back on the anti-depressants or something else in addition to the estrogen.

Do your grocery shopping with a list and a moment limit; that way, you're unlikely to stray into the highly processed foods section.

Music forces you to eat more. According to a study by the journal Psychology and Marketing, soft, classical tunes encourage one to take time over your mealtime, so you consume more foods. So, switch off – silence will make you more aware of what you’re applying your mouth.

Use a vegetable bean dip including hummus instead of ranch dressing or perhaps a fatty cream-based dip.

Bask in the the sun. Just 20 minutes of Vitamin D absorption on a daily basis will boost your ability for you to loose weight.

Get back to basics – burn more unhealthy calories than you ingest.

Decaf coffee is a superb low-calorie fluid when you're having cravings (and a terrific source of antioxidants).

It’s Friday brunch time and you simply can’t stop going back for seconds. But hang on! Stop for the minute and suck on a supplementary strong mint. The flavour will certainly put you off that 3rd plate of chicken korma/roast beef/sushi medley.

Buy smaller plates. Little crockery means portion control is significantly easier – those diminutive portions suddenly look huge and you’ll be happier to eat less.
