Starting over AGAIN, but I know that diet and exercise tends to have its ups and downs and always will. It feels like this weight suddenly crept up on me, but I suspect my stress snacking and late evening mug of ice cream or other dessert have gradually made an impact. I've really noticed how easy it is to gain weight, and difficult to lose, since I passed 50 and have gone through menopause. Even though I exercise like crazy, swimming for 60 to 90 minutes 4 to 5 times a week and walking the dog every day, I'm still dragging around an extra 10 pounds. I know that's not a lot, but like everyone else, I want my clothes to fit comfortably and I want to feel and look my best.

When I focus on eating well, I really eat WELL! This colorful lunch was delicious and about 400 calories, mostly fat and protein.
