47 years old... am I "there" already? (Perimenopause)

I don't think you can be assured of anything. If you alter your diet and/or your activities, you might not lose weight. But if you don't try, then the odds of succeeding are near 0.

Perhaps you should start with a food diary to track how many calories you are eating every day. You might find some easy things to cut back on or eliminate entirely.

There are some online food journal sites. I personally don't have the urls, handy, but I've seen them referenced in other threads so someone here should be able to recommend one.
