Turned 40, gained weight, cannot get it off. Can you help?

I turned 40 about 2 years ago. I have been slender and fit my entire life (because I work out and eat healthy).

However, the past year I went through a turbulent custody battle and stress ate, gaining about 10 pounds.

I cannot seem to lose it no matter what I do. I eat healthy, count every calorie (not going over 1100 a day), drink lots of water, and walk a mile every day.

I am so frustrated at this point!

I've tried taking appetite suppressants - which work - and Slimquick - which doesn't work - and kelp (for low thyroid).

I am at my wits end.

Someone please help me!!!

Thank you.

    A high protein, high cardio regimen will work.

    That means, get a boy toy 10+ years younger than you.

    Additional data:

    My wife is 5' 1"

    Source(s): My wife went from 120 to 108 in the months before our marriage, and I'm 10 years younger than her.
