I managed to stay about 130 most of my adult life due to an active lifestyle, (farm living, physically demanding jobs etc,)
even though I have always eaten lots & love fats, all fats.
After changing careers about 6 years ago the weight started to creep up & I ended up at 155.
Skip ahead to last November when I totally changed my diet, less fats, more veggies & then around March started watching calories & exercising daily.
The weight has come off slowly but surely but the difference of me at 130 now & me at 130 - 6 years ago is huge.
I don't know if it is gravity or what but I just don't look as slim at this weight as I used to. I am going to have to lose 5 to 10 more pounds by the look of it.
That'll teach me to let things slide! Anyone else out there noticed this about their older bodies.
For all I know it might be one of those things that everyone knows.
I was so clueless about dieting stuff that I never even twigged that pretty much all food now has calorie & nutrition labelling, (at least here in Canada so I am assuming it is the same in the US.)
