[quote=Anonymous]I don’t have to very restrictive necessarily, but I have to be constantly conscious and aware of intake. It’s annoying but it’s always been this way except for when I was in my twenties and smoking/running around all day at college and waiting tables.

I am a little under 5’ 2” and try to stay at around 114-115. I consistently creep up a few pounds and have to diet back down, and the creep is more consistent since turning 36 but I think that has more to do with the fact that I quit drinking wine on a daily basis and now struggle with eating too much sugar.

I always work out so that isn’t an issue...I have been running and weight training consistently for years. But I stress eat and will go overboard on sugar for a period of time and gain weight. At 120 I am in a whole different pant size so it’s not just vanity...but sure, plenty of it is vanity.

I realize I could easily stay around 119-120 and the world would not end. But it’s all a choice. I could have chosen not to lose weight after my second kid was born and I would still be 130. For me, I would rather be smaller. We will see if I change my tune in another decade though.[/quote]
