[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait till you hit menopause and your body shape changes again even if your weight doesn't. It just all gets redistributed to places you don't want it and away from places you do (unless you go for plastic surgery options). Fun times.[/quote] I was thinking this same thing. If OP thinks she has issues now, just wait! OP - it does suck, but it’s a fact of life. You can work out and diet to keep your tummy pooch to a minimum, or you can let it go and focus on other things. I’m not saying one is better than the other, or judging anyone who picks the former, but it’s just how usually it works. FWIW, I think most husbands are perfectly fine with tummy pooch (and more!) if you just keep a sexy attitude. [/quote] Doesn't it make sense to get the weight/tummy under control (as much as is reasonable) BEFORE the wild ride of peri menopause and menopause? If we are going to fall to sh!t during and after the change, wouldn't it be wise to reign it all in beforehand to mitigate the depth of sh!t we fall to?[/quote] Most definitely. I spent my whole life eating whatever I wanted and never working out and getting away with it because I was thin. Then I turned 30 and realized the next milestone was 40 and eventually even I would come up against menopause. I knew I didn’t want to go into that mess having no foundation of nutrition and fitness and healthy living to fortify me so I finally got my ass in gear, focused on eating healthfully, and working out 3-4x a week it’s all force of habit and lifestyle for me now. I drink only on occasion, eat well, indulge moderately, and have built a good amount of muscle. It’s not going to entirely stave off the effects of menopause but it will help some I think. [/quote]
