I need to lose weight. My metabolism rate is puny. But I honestly believe my blubber keeps me from getting hurt (other than bruises) when I fall. I once fell backward on my concrete driveway, and my first body part to land was my big rear!

I have this problem too.

It was already a problem when 2020 hit, and I gained 20 lbs. during that year, sitting at home alone and isolated. I'd sit in front of the TV and eat, since nothing was open and nothing to do. And of course I ate comfort food, as I needed the comfort.

I'd sit and read too, which doesn't burn any calories.

Finally I've lost some inches, as I can fit into certain clothes again. But still a little snug.

I miss the days when I could eat what I want and not gain an ounce. I ate like a lumberjack in my youth and never had a weight problem.

And I guess no trouble with cholesterol and sugar, as they didn't even mention these components when I got my physical. Aging is a *****. Do men have trouble with their weight after a "certain age" or is it just us women?
