I wonder if this is a struggle for, among others, past teen athletes because my spouse eats like a teen football player and has trouble eating less. The old habits are hard to change.

I read that the way we ate in the past affects our cells. That then carries forward as to whether we will struggle with weight gain or not.

Late 30s.

But looking back I’m pretty sure my weight gain, at that point anyway, was more psych med related than age related.

46.

I was pregnant and breastfeeding continuously from 39-45. Nursing helped me keep the weight in check. As soon as I weaned the last kid, I noticed things shifting. It's a crazy ride going from nursing right into perimenopause.

After having my daughter - but I'm an older mom. I'm very small with a tiny frame. My BMR is only 1200 calories. TDEE is around 1800. It sucks. I love food.

Just relaxing this now (36). My weight crept up after I had my last child at 32, and I’ve settled into a weight about 15 lbs above where I’d like to be. Working out alone is not enough, when it was for me for so many years.

I was 37 when I realized that continuing to eat the same portions was causing weight gain. I always ate a healthy diet, but after that I started to eat half as much to maintain my weight.

I don't always succeed, but I try...

When I think of the huge portions I wolfed down as an athletic teen... In my youth I would not have believed that at some point I would need to subsist on almost nothing. I guess my overweight mother who ate normal portions should have been a clue.
