Style & Living

Dear Alice,

 You may have addressed this already, as it is a common problem, but maybe discussing it again will help me and others like me. I start off every day so well. I am determined to lose weight and eat my breakfast, lunch, and snacks carefully and on plan. When it comes to dinner, however, I mess the whole thing up. I don’t have time to prepare my own dinner, so I end up eating whatever I made for the kids. I tell myself that I will just have a portion-controlled amount, but I end up eating more dinner than I planned. Then I sabotage the rest of the night because I am exhausted, stressed, and upset that I messed up my diet by dinner. How do I end this vicious cycle?

As elder law attorneys, we often meet with clients who are aging or are related to those who are aging. Elder law covers a broad range of areas, including helping the elderly and disabled attain the governmental benefits they need while simultaneously preserving their assets. Another component of elder law is basic estate planning. We typically prepare wills, trusts and advance directives for our clients and their family members.
