[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 112773, member: 3388"] Count me in too!!! I need to lose the five pounds I've put on during the last year. I manage to get a few of them off but then they just keep coming back...About six months ago, I officially hit menopause. While I've read many articles that say menopause in itself doesn't make women gain weight, I know many women like myself who start packing on pounds once this stage of life is reached. I think it has something to do with the fact that our metabolisms slow down after menopause as well as the fact that we lose muscle mass as we age. Such happy facts, lol!!! Anyway, I know that five pounds doesn't seem like that big a deal to some of you who are struggling with much bigger health issues. In reality it isn't. However, if I don't get a grasp on this weight gain now, I've read that I can pack on an average of two to three pounds per year. So, if I don't make even more changes to my lifestyle, I could conceivably be eight pounds heavier next year, eleven pounds heavier the following year, etc... A SCARY THOUGHT!!! I have always been a big believer in exercise and continue to exercise regularly. I already eat healthy meals. I'm pretty consistent and even make healthy choices when eating out. However, as some of you know, I'm definitely an emotional eater. I know that I need to stop this. On an intellectual level, I know what to do. Why can't I just STOP??? Like Janet said, I don't believe there is any such thing as willpower either. I think that staying healthy and fit is a lifestyle. As I've said in other threads, "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels." (I think this is from Weight Watchers) Now, I just have to stay away from the kitchen when negative emotions get the better of me... Trinity, thanks for the name of the book. I'm definitely going to check it out!!! And, thanks in advance to all of you who are going to help me kick my emotional eating habit, lol!!! WFEN [/QUOTE]
