Introduction Text I was always thin and georgeous (see pic :) ) until That god-forsaken curse called menopause. Then it just happened without any warning. Low energy, depression, weight gain, and lack of interest in all things fun. My weight went from 125 to 150. I did work a labor intensive job ( lifting, pulling, walking, hurrying, stressful) and so my weight stayed at 150 til I retired at age 61. Bam! It was 'see how fast I can get fat and ugly' 'cause it was as if that mantra took over while I watched. I hate it and feel like someone totally different than who I once was. There has been one benefit, however, tho I hate to admit it - I've gained a little more humility and understanding of over-weight ppl than when I was thinner. BUT, this gobbiness is not me and I so desire to rid myself of the 'weight' that's holding me down physically and mentally. I've since learned that I have severe osteoporosis with some broken bones, lack of Vit-D and high cholesterol. I'm raising (along with my son) GDs ages 5 and 6 and need a lot more energy than I have right now. The Dr has put me on a low fat diet that is so old fashioned and restrictive that this old lady would ditch it after the first meal. I hope this site and the folks here will pump me up and give me more normal and even delicious options. So, here I come! Hope to see y'all around soon. ~ Gim
