[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always been fairly slim - 5'4" and for a long time was in the mid-120's.  I've always been conscious of my eating habits and honestly do not like fast food, or too many sweets.  After having my children I found that I was hovering in the mid-130s so did a low-carb thing for a while and to my surprise lost 20 lbs.  It was a pretty strict diet.  I continue those habits now and my weight stays right around 115.  I really don't indulge much.  I have oatmeal or a smoothie for breakfast, a salad w/ protein for lunch, and a small-portion dinner.  I drink some wine but no beer or mixed drinks.  Snacks are usually fruit or raw nuts.  If I notice a few pounds have crept on after the holidays or a vacation, I cut back.  I don't feel deprived, and I really like the way I feel & look.  I exercise moderately/erratically.

How old are you, and what are your pleasures in life?

I am 50, and love food, wine and sex. I will never be thin.[/quote]

I'm 40, and despite the implication of your question, I have a very enjoyable life and am a fun person.  My pleasures are many - - the outdoors, reading, music, good wine, entertaining friends, my solid partnership with my husband of 13 years, and our 2 great kids.  I love wine and sex too! And while I do love food, I indulge in hi-calorie, hi-carb foods as a treat rather than a regular occurrence.  I don't need to have pasta and dessert every night.  For a holiday or other special occasion, or at a great restaurant, I'll eat more than I normally would.  but on a day to day basis I exercise restraint.  And I notice and like the results.  [/quote]
