Up until menopause hit I was 5'7" and struggled to keep a healthy weight.
I ranged from 110 to 120lbs until 2004.
The hormonal changes alone caused me to gain 80 lbs in 7 months, without
a change in eating habits.
The rapid weight gain excaberated my moderate arthritus,
and for the first time in my life I experienced the not so friendly
glares that some people would freely dish out.
I strive to keep some muscle tone.
20 of those pounds I have lost.
We all get lazy about one thing or another at times.
I am grateful that my SO sees the beauty on the inside first.
I am grateful that I am still ambulatory and can see hear and feel and taste.
I do not 'worry' about my weight.
Worry is like a rocking chair...keeps you busy...and gets you nowhere.
