I'm struggling also but try to get some exercise in there somewhere. I try to eat small meals and snacks through out the day. I find If I let myself get too hungry, than I go into feeding frenzy mode! Try to keep a water bottle next to you at all times, the more water you drink the less food you will want to eat, or so I have been told! Another trick I have is: after making dinner, I serve out my plate than put all the leftover food away BEFORE I sit down to eat, that way I don't nibble on the leftovers as I'm putting them away, or say "gee, theres only a little left, might as well eat it."
Happy birthday to you!
