[quote=Anonymous]OP, it just happens and there isn't a lot you can do about it. Hormones/metabolism changes at these ages and I think there is part of it that is just going to come down to acceptance. You can be the absolute fittest and healthiest you can possibly be and you are not going to look like you did when you are 30 ever again. I'm also struggling with, but it just what it is. And life is too short to make yourself miserable over it.

As for me, I have gained about 10 lbs very slowly over the course of years starting at bout 35 and frankly, I'm lucky I made it that long without having to think about food/exercise. I was 5'7" and about 118 for ever, so honestly, it wasn't a huge deal. Then two years ago I gained in a very short amount of time for really no reason at all. Nothing about my food intake, exercise, etc. changed at all. I've talked to a bunch of friends in their early 40s and its seemed a bit of a universal experience.

I don't like it, but at some point, you just have to accept it. You'll be happier if you do. [/quote]
