Happens every year

37chief · Nov 27, 2015

Every year during my mowing season, usually April, and into

Sept.I keep very active. Now in the fall months, and into winter, I am not very active, and I put on more weight than I need. sometimes 15 lbs. I guess I just like to eat. Today was a good example. My wife made a Thanksgiving dinner. The kids brought some goodies also, and I had to eat a lot of everything. Anyone of you have that problem? Stan

Steve@Advance · Nov 27, 2015

Yep... Eat way too much, then do it again at Christmas! Today was especially bad, sat in the recliner watching it rain. Chance of rain the next 3 days...100%. Stir crazy and getting fat!

It is a constant battle for me. I love ice cream, I get it in a little custard cup. If I can keep from going back twice it is a victory, If I stop myself at just one, Major victory!! The key as you point out is keeping busy. If I am home working on line at my regular job it is tough to avoid munching. If I go out to drive truck for a day it is a lot easier to avoid snacks and I get excercise as well. One day recently according to my new I phone, I climbed 14 flights of stairs and walked six miles.

Ya,and I don't even eat that much. The weight just seems to find me. It's not like I don't have anything to do and spend all my time sitting around,but I just don't do enough I guess.

what about when your sitting in a chair running your flea market? And,,,Mrs rr lund has all those snacks in her lunch truck you can grab anytime?

Does your wife blame you if she finds the weight you lose and keeps it? I'm still trying to lose the weight I gained on a Hawaiian curse.

By that time,she can use a hand cart to wheel me back to the motor home.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
I have never been on a diet in my life.
In fact for years I hunted weight.
Yes now that I am 57 I am a little over weight (BMI 27.6) but I still eat what I want; when I want.

David G · Nov 27, 2015

I feel best with my BMI at 25-26, do not feel as good when it goes over the 26.

Alan K · Nov 27, 2015

I always figured...If it was going to go to "waist"....it might as well go to mine

john in la · Nov 27, 2015

Up until I turned 50 I was in the 22 to 24 range.
These last few years has seen me inching up.

David G · Nov 27, 2015

I will be 56 in a couple of weeks

Hayfarmer · Nov 27, 2015

I don't have any problem with too much weight, just need to grow about 6 inches taller and it will be fine

JerryS · Nov 27, 2015

It happens, John. When I was in my early 40s, I weighed about 185. Now, at 74, I smash the scales at 280. So go easy on that etoufee, jambalaya, crawfish pie, boudin, andouille, etc.

Damn those Hawaiian curses.

Afraid I'm the opposite. Mrs. MN complains when I get too skinny, especially during the stressful times of year. 'Course, I'm only 28, so I'm sure it'll catch up with me soon.

So that's what it is? Those Hawaiians are putting a curse on us without us even going there?

Bob Harvey · Nov 27, 2015

Well, I have to admit I have put on 3kgs. in the last 2 months. I'm reasonably active, but, my legs are giving me trouble and I can't walk the 2kms. per day I'm used to. Should probly let off a couple of beverages per day, maybe that will help. Hate not being able to walk enough to work up a light sweat. Age done creeped up - dag nab it !

I am type 1 diabetic on the pump. I now count carbs but with the pump, you can just put in another bolus and keep eating. Age and diabetes make it hard to keep the weight down during the winter.

I have a diet that I tell everybody that wants to lose weight that works and it is easy.
1. Buy 2 round boxes of oatmeal.
2. Eat one and keep the box.
3. Eat the second one. When finished place both the boxes over you elbows so you can not bend your elbows. Now you are on a genuine diet.
