Ufff... my whole life basically. The only way I ever stayed "thin" was by seriously undereating and overexercising. When I gave up this masochistic lifestyle (in my early 40s) I got chubby and decided "fuck it". I was still healthy. Then mid-50s after almost two years of chemo, then menopause, and generally getting older my already dodgy metabolism was fried and, well, you've seen me. I stay active, I do what I can short of starving myself and in the end stopped caring about how "people out there" judge me on how I look. BUT being constantly fat-shamed and denied proper treatment by doctors the past couple of years is a whole other matter, and that is a serious issue. Still fighting it. And by the way, you're gorgeous. xx
Shawn, I'm sorry, I know you've been through the chemo and yes, the menopause is a fucker on your metabolism! The doctor thing is a whole other issue too - the "maintainence phase" podcast did a whole show on BMI recently, and how bollocks it is yet still used to deny people treatment
