Hi Tara, I was always skinny until my 30's when it was discovered that after all that time I was born with a kidney malformation. They removed it and I started to put on weight. I came to the conclusion that as all my fathers family are/were short and stocky that is how I was going to be too. I lived with that theory until my 50's when I decided that I hated everything in my wardrobe and declared that I would shift the extra pounds. After many diets and discovering that just the mention of losing weight made me crave bad foods. It did not matter that I didn't like some of them I just ate! After reaching my 60's I decided that so long as I was fit it was ok. I started gym and aqua aerobics and all was fine until the covid shutdowns ( I live in Victoria Australia and we had rolling shutdowns for 2 years!) Needless to say I put on weight. I have gone from 100 lbs to 211lbs in 50 years so I am back on the what will I do train. The gym is to much for me now (I am 78) so I am stuck with diet and hydrotherapy. Good luck all it takes is the will or so I am told.
But as my father always said (he was also A Will) I have plenty of Will power what I need is won't power.
I have been wondering about your Wil name! I LOVE that you are your father's daughter! I don't know if you are too old for the gym... my Dad who is 86 is heading out to the gym after a wee setback! I am not sure what all he does there, but he goes....:)
Hi Tara, My name is Wilma I hate it and I told my Mom that when she passed I would change it. Unfortunately (Or on another view fortunately) my Mom did not pass until I was 60. It was a bit late by then so I have just shortened it. I have been asked why I didn't use my middle name but it is Ellen my husbands name is Allan! How confusing would that be?
