Anyone else fed up with constant dieting?

I have a constant battle with my weight, I am too heavy for my 4`11 height but on the upside I am very healthy not taking any meds and have lots of energy. I think I am 4 stone overweight but so be it, I can get on my road bike and cycle up steep hills. I am 72 and the weight crept on, very slowly so I didn`t notice

I am past being on `diets` and accept that I no longer have a 25" waist and am now oval in shape. I have compressed my eating into a much shorter time frame, I start around 7am and finish at 4.30, this gives my internal organs time to rest and recover. Strangely I do not feel like eating anything after 4.30 and don`t even get mouth hunger now. I am ok until after lunch when I do get mouth hunger, need that something satisfying

My danger time is from lunch to 4.30, I am usually engrossed in things until lunchtime and time passes quickly. It is much harder being widowed and living on my own but I make sure that I have good access to very fresh organic veg, much grown by myself. Old style frame of mind, nothing goes to waste, least of all veg so most meals are based on the 5 a day, I do actually eat 7+ a day

Chocolate is not my downfall, 85% and a couple of pieces satisfies that craving and is very good for me. I don`t eat potatoes nor any fried or battered anything. Its just a fact that I need less food for survival. So I could tweak a bit more, cut out that bit of salad dressing, cut out that piece of lovely crispy spelt toast with hm jam, cut out that wholemeal unbuttered scone. The 4 nuts that I eat every day

We need fibre, we need balanced meals. I eat balanced meals. My only hope now is to keep on with the compressed eating schedule, hopefully weight will go off albeit very slowly, I must put my scales away, it doesn`t help to weigh myself too often
