Good morning to you all, just discovered Slim and Save and found my way to your lovely site, although there does seem to be an abundance of 20 somethings out there, oh to be that age again. I am aged 57 and post menopausal and yes more than a little bitter at the battering I got from good old mother nature! I had been controling my weight on and off for 27 years with the help of Weightwatchers, even worked as a very successful diamond class leader for over 10 years, anyway hit the menopause at 52 and my life and body went pear shaped, in the case of the latter quite literally!! Had a very difficult 2 years with bereavements and depression and I have been trying to pull myself back together without a great deal of success for the last 3 years, gaining over 3 stones during this time and I just cant live with it a moment longer. Galloping towards 60 carrying an extra 45lbs is breaking my spirit and I am turning into the fat and frumpy invisible older lady that you have to experience to believe! I have read virtually every food/diet book out there, I am almost an expert, and I have tried to loose this excess weight on almost a weekly basis and still it creeps on. Never ever tried anything like Slim and Save before, the inconspicuous brown box of delights has just been delivered and I am a little nervouse. I have felt for some time that a whole different approach is needed, this is not the same body of 27 years ago, I am not the same person I was then and my life and whole existence is very, very different. So here goes, I am about to embark on what I hope is a successful journey back to ME!! Wish me luck.
PS if anyone reads this, thanks for giving me the opportunity to babble on, putting it in print feels liberating.
Take care all.
