Wink Hola, new member, on CALP for 16 years

I retired 2 1/2 years ago and left the US--along with my daily routines and familiar shopping. I've struggled and recently have put on about 10 to 15 lbs (no scale anymore, a problema! And when I find one it's in kgs). Big problems with the Carb Addicts diet---I started eating way too much cheese, butter, and red meats. As a result, my total cholesterol soared to over 300 from a baseline of about 224. Yes, I know about the controversy over cholesterol, but a big swing like that indicates something has changed. The reward meal at night has also been an issue. I have violated that regularly, too much fruit and eating past the hour, and that is the source of my struggle and weight gain. I have to get my weight down and my cholesterol under control. I'm considering some bright lines--no cheese, dairy, and only rarely fruit. Probably need to bright line any form of bread.

So this is my attempt to reign things in and get back a sense of control in my life. Any tips, etc. appreciated.
