I come from a family of very slender people, including me. I reached a certain age, and all of a sudden I’m not “as slender as I formerly was.” ~sigh~

oh, the fortieth birthday joke (As I call it) got you too? I was scrawny all my life, then, suddenly...

You’ve got the idea. I’m waiting for cutting out sugar and smaller portions and more fruits and vegetables to have some effect. So far, not working.

We we so skinny mom used to send Ethiopeans pictures of us so they wouldn't fell so bad.

We ate fried foods (chicken or fish), oranges, apples, carrots, biscuits, corn and vegetables, cornbread, cakes, pies and at least 2 huge glasses of milk every day. Not to mention all the syrupy sweet tea we could swallow.

Hitting 40 we all start eating 'healthy' - and the pounds pile on.
