Could I Be Low in Vitamin D?

Foods That Age You

Years ago I was told I was low on Vit D, not deficient per se, just on the lower end of the spectrum. So I started taking a supplement.

Also you need sufficient Vit D for calcium absorption. They work together. I drink calcium enriched milk daily too.

Supposedly we get Vit D from sun exposure, but they've been telling us to decades to avoid the sun and wear sunscreen. Now a "little" is supposed to help, yet I also read that sun exposure is cumulative. So a bit everyday will still add up to sun damage and risk of skin cancer. You can't win.

I know. I love junk food, which leads me to:

Worst Habits for Belly Fat

I don’t like hot sauce, it gives me heartburn. That article said to use that. Water doesn’t curb my appetite.

In my 20’s and 30’s I ate like a lumberjack and gained nothing. Exercised little too, lol. Our metabolism slows as we age. I used to get berated for being a slow eater.

In 2020 and 2021 I gained a lot of weight and of course it went to my gut and hips, not in my forearms or ankles where I need the weight. I was depressed and isolated so sat in front of the tv and ate. And always comfort food since food was all I had.

It’s a hard area to lose weight in. My favorite clothes don’t fit now so it’s an incentive to try to lose something. At least my chocolate cravings are decreasing cause I ate so much when the Ukrainian crisis started.

And it gave me heartburn, so forced to stop awhile. It’s highly acidic which I didn’t know.

Sigh…we know all that stuff already yet sticking to it is hard. They repeat the same thing all the time. Little things can make a difference, like watching my portions.

I know a lady with dementia and junk food is supposedly to make it worse. But I can’t tell her those frozen dinners and chips she eats will exacerbate her condition. She’ll bite my head off.

This condition changes one’s personality too, sadly. She’s getting to be a b i t c h.

I've outgrown my pants and am having to buy a few more. Sigh.

Get the kind that expand in the waist. I have found them delightful!

pachy, I mainly do that. I have some jeans type pants with zippers, but I need to shrink to get into them again.

Ladies, I really like the Alfred Dunner brand of clothes. I try to buy them used on eBay. But sometimes it's hard to get matches because they have named "lines" that all match.

Rather than spend money I don’t have, I prefer to keep my tight jeans as incentive to lose weight. I did it before, so it has to happen again. The only pair that fit me are the pair with Spandex in them or my sweatpants, which were a bit big to begin with. I don’t shop online especially for clothes, as I have to try them on.
