I don't know what the heck happened. All of my adult life until age 61 I had a trim figure. I weighed 105-113 pounds. I could fit into size 17 Reg. GIRLS Lee 👖 jeans. I wore the black ones a lot.
I never lost my girlish figure.
When I was about 40 and I would take my son to teach him how to play pool at the Billiards place, the young guys thought I was their age and used to hit on me lol.
Then in the Spring of 2000 I became so suck and bedridden. Still only around 110.
Then many years later I went to a wellness center for 6 months. They only fed me carbs three times a day and two nutritional drinks everyday. I gained 10 pounds a month, but no one said anything.
Then my last two months my friend brought me a lot of chocolate and sweets and somehow I gained more weight really fast.
I hardly eat, but I cannot seem to loose that weight. Once I lost 13 pounds of it and this last doctor visit I lost 10 pounds.
But I must say, I feel like I live in someone else's body. I am not really fat, but I sure am not near 105 like I am used to.
It's a sh as me. The people in the wellness rehab should have done something about my weight gain when they could have.

I guess your metabolism changed as you aged.

One of my friends I've known since middle school came to visit me. We were always the evaxt same size growing up. When I saw her two years, she weighed around 100 and still had her girlish figure at age 67.
However, I did blossom into a woman at some point in my life, and I don't find an old lady wear little girls clothes appealing anymore. She's proud of her weight. Two each their own.
