I’ve gained 15 pounds in four years and am not happy about it. My weight goes up and down and I’m not happy with that either. I need to exercise, I know, and I don’t. I’m going to have to force myself. My husband and I want to buy an in - home exercise bike. I would get up in the morning and would get on the bike - this I know.

But right now it’s hard for me to imagine being able to lose the 15 pounds and that’s depressing me. We eat junk foods sometimes and while I enjoy it immensely it’s not helping, I know.

And I’m over 50 years old so I know my metabolism has slowed which only just makes it that much harder to lose weight.

And Covid certainly doesn’t help any either. It only just makes things worse. I want to eat more since we’re home more.

I’m very frustrated. Can anyone relate to any of this? It just seems too hard to lose 15 pounds and I feel depressed about the weight gain.
