[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you everyone! I appreciate the kind words. I am actually just fine with my body, even if I gain weight (which, based on my mother's history, I will as I age). I expect it and accept myself as I am.

I just hate shopping for clothes, and I realized that I don't fit into my favorite pair of nice shorts and a bunch of skirts that I've had for decades! I try to be a minimalist, especially with clothes, so I don't have much in the way of extra clothing to fall back on. Sigh, I guess I will need to suck it up and go shopping as necessary. Now THAT's going to be hard to accept, lol.[/quote]

It's the food. You can't out exercise eating. I don't really eat carbs at all anymore. It has been a gradual process, but my stomach has not gotten bigger, while my friends have not had the same fate. I'm 54 so right in that age range where it really starts to happen. You really have to change the way you eat. I went on vacation last week and gained 6 pounds - just like that! When you get older, you have to be extremely careful or you can't avoid it.

And no, I actually don't miss carbs. I just don't crave them. [/quote]
