[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Girl, same. Hitting 40 and my already crappy metabolism tanking has been incredibly demoralizing. Working on improving my attitude—also a slow process :)[/quote]

You hit 40 already? Plenty of 50 pluses women on here have no issue being normal or underweight.[/quote]

wow that was helpful[/quote]

[b]Age isn't an excuse for a bad metabolism. [/b]Plenty of 20 somethings who are big and stay big even when fit.[/quote]

That’s not how metabolism works, dipshit.[/quote]

Yeah.  I’m a life long skinny person (weighed 92 pounds at age 18, 112 when I finished nursing my third kid).  I’m almost 50 and guess what I weight now? 138.  I eat less than I ever have in my life and definitely exercise more than I did as a teen or a young mom.  It’s all just sitting on top of my uturus.  It’s clearly hormonal. 
Same thing happened to my mom (who ever exercised a day in her life).  She was super super skinny (under 100 pounds) right up until menopause when she started just packing fat on around her waist.  She still looks pretty small but it’s mostly because she squeezes it all into under an old lady girdle.  Her Ames and legs are still pretty thin—it’s just rolls of fat on her waist.
I’m just starting to think that post-menopausal women are not meant to be svelte....most of the post menopausal skinny women I know (not all, but most) who are very skinny either have a health condition (ibs, etc.) or have very restrictive diets.  I find the latter too depressing so I’m trying to make p ace with my Mrs Claus belly.[/quote]
