[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a question very specific to middle-aged (let’s say, 40 to 60) women who are significantly overweight but were thin and athletic in their 20s and 30s, and specifically women who are unhappy with this weight change.

How much weight have you gained from age 30? Was it mostly having kids, mostly menopause, both, or neither? Did you notice your body change all of a sudden, or was it a gradual weight creeping up and up? If you do wish you weighed less (and some people just accept it and that’s ok) what would you have done differently, lifestyle-wise, and at what age? What advice would you give to women under 35 who think “oh I would NEVER let my body get like THAT”?[/quote]

"Gaining Weight" is not equal to "Body Falling Apart"[/quote]

Yeah, agree that phrasing it that way is hyperbolic, but I think I get the point. It’s one thing to gain a couple of pounds here and there, and accept it, or not. The falling-apart thing, I often think it applies to people who used to be able to outrun the fork. For example, people who are hardcore athletes in their 20s and 30s and then obese by 50.  This does happen. An injury, a child, and menopause and not significantly changing your eating habits. [/quote]

To me "body falling apart" means you're suddenly getting injured often, your back hurts enough that it limits your activities, your balance is off, you have constant unexplainable aches and pains etc., NOT oh I've gained 15lbs.[/quote]

Well, yeah. Those things can happen as a result of gaining 50 lbs, not 15. [/quote]
