I found the above one online but thought of one myself: "I'm twice the woman i was before!"

Great quotes!

I hear you on the weight gain stuff. A couple months back I actually lost 8 lbs, but then my mood turned and I've since gained it all back. I am not in the mindframe to work on a diet now, but know I should do something to avoid major overeating. I'm pretty good all day long until the evening. I eat a normal dinner, then I take my meds and start eating like I've never eaten before. I've been progressing in peri-menopause. I think it started about four years ago. Now my monthly is not so much monthly anymore, but not completely gone. When it first started I had some months with 20 day periods, then a couple months with nothing. Then a little regular, and repeat. Luckily the 20 day ones seem to be gone.
