I am not aided by a lifetime of dieting, since I now have the metabolism of a tranquilized tree sloth.
I'm telling that to my Doc at my next appointment.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Ahahah. Yes, me too. Actually, I know it'd be better if I just ate more, and more frequently (as backwards as that sounds.) I mean, I ate 3 whole meals a day, including heart-attack-with-a-kick cheese rellenos, cheesy enchiladas, chile cheesburgers, cranberry-nut "bread" (really, more cakey, ) banana bread, cheesecake, assorted adulterated nuts, chorizo, egg and cheese burritos, tamales, ham and lots of wine for about a week....and I dropped 5 lbs.
But that's...work and effort in my day-to-day.

And now I really want a genuine NM relleno. Damnit.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

How long have you had the cold, Shrift? Having very recently recovered from the Death Cold I can promise that it does end.
I'm trying really, really hard to avoid high fructose corn syrup.
Me too. Now I need to get into the habit of eating healthy stuff instead of eating nothing until late in the day when I'm starving and headachey. Which reminds me... I have no food in my home. I should hit the grocery store today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I should be going to the library and the grocery store.

I used to have an awesome metabolism. I could eat anything! Large pizza? Get in my belly! Beer? Yes, please! Fried cheese? NOM NOM NOM.
Then my metabolism crashed and burned sometime after 25, and I'm still trying to figure out how to eat so that I don't gain weight just by thinking about chocolate.

It was like I woke up one morning and my metabolism had decided to quit. Now I have to take 2 meds daily for hypothyroidism and they don't seem to help.

Just so you know, it happens again sometime between 35 and 40.
