As I aged, it seems that my weight matches my age. I turned 50 (grrr) years old this year and I am the heavest I have ever been in my life. It's been a depressing year, but I am going to change it. I always feel better when I watch what I eat and exercise. I live in Texas where it is hard to do to outside activities because of the humidity and heat. I have a wonderful husband of 31 years that will walk with me everynight. It is easier to get motiviated with the help from supportive family and friends. I have a desk job in an office and do some teaching at night at a local college. My metabolisim came to an stop when I was working both jobs for months at a time. I am now trying to reverse my metabolism by walking.
