meara, do you track what you eat? Because when I haven't tracked my food in a while and then resume tracking, I am generally surprised at how damn much I really am eating. It doesn't seem like it should add up, and then it does.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Anyone know what, besides medication, could cause random weight gain?
Well, your metabolism changes as you get older. One of my friends described her thirties as "The Thickening."

Hrmph. Do not want.
Steph, I haven't been assiduously tracking, but the times I do, I'm definitely going over "diet" (1400 calories or less) but not, I think, over enough that I should be gaining weight like crazy!

Belly bloat is menstrual for me. *pokes* And maybe cheese. I really would weigh less if I broke up with cheese.
I think I am freaking out a wee bit more than I want to admit about getting over when the clock ticks over. Drat. I was pretty zen for the thirties too. Now I don't want it to be tomorrow cause OLDER.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
meara, belly weight gain for me is all about the white carbs. Even if I'm eating in the "diet" range (1500 calories or less) if I'm eating sugar or potatoes or bread? Belly expands, regardless of calories ingested.

meara, if you are also tired and/or having a lot of hair loss, then you might consider getting your thyroid checked. Weight gain is a classic hypothyroid symptom.

Being 50 has been seriously kicking my ass. Just seeing that number and realizing it represent my age is painful. I have a mental image of what 50 means, and it doesn't match the inside of my head. Instead of letting that redefine what 50 means to me, my head is freaking out. I keep running the math of average life spans, realize where I stand in regards to that, and get obsessed about what my life could have been etc. etc. I'm supposed to have achieved *something* by now, but . . .

All of that, yes, Connie. How did I get to 40, why is't my life different or better or ... I don't know. Blergh. And really nothing is changed from a week ago or a year but that damn number sure feels bigger than it used to feel.

You'll have blaze the path for me & tell me what it's like - I'll be joining you on Tuesday...I'm fluctuating between zen and WTF 40!?!? right along with you, babe.
