I'd love to say that I'm one of those people who never think about weight, eat whatever they want, and think that personality is more important than how much you weigh. Someone who feels that it's OK to eat two desserts for breakfast. That is the person I'd like to be.
The person I am is quite different. Weigh myself weekly or daily? Try hourly. I'm kidding, but most everyone I know obsesses about weight, and wishes they weighed less. I have three friends who have gone the "lap band" route. Of course we all know we have to eat less and exercise more, no matter how many books claim they have the "new" information about weight loss.
My doctor says that middle age equals a muffin top, because of women's hormonal changes. Our shapes definitely do change over the years, age and gravity takes a toll. I try to be happy with the body God gave me, and give thanks that I'm alive and healthy and able to enjoy my golden years. But there are definitely times I look in the mirror and sigh for my old bikini days.
