OP here. I’m sure hormones are partly to blame. Other factors may include Cadbury mini eggs, Chipotle dinners, etc. I feel so unhealthy!
Nonsense that perimenopause is to blame. Women in other parts of the world dont get fat in midlife because they dont eat junk.
Umm, they certainly do.
+1. When I traveled to Italy 30 years ago I was struck by nearly every women of a certain age being “fat” (or in reality, normal for post-menopausal women).
Sophia Loren they were not.
Go to Asia and you'll find that women remain relatively slim over there, even in midlife. There's a lot of social pressure to not let yourself go unlike American women who embrace being "body-positive".
Older Asian women also get thick in the middle.
Yes, they really do. On average they do not get as heavy as women in the US, but they do get thicker in the middle.
