Over 40 Belly Blues

Anyone else have the peri-menopausal metabolism and belly blues?

Lucky 13

I have the peri-menopausal belly blues. I could so easily get discouraged, because I feel like I could starve myself and exercise until I drop, and my belly wouldn't budge.

I'm learning to dress appropriately for my age (45) and just try my best to camoflauge it in clothes. But as AintDoody said, it's not easy to do in lycra!

Lucky, I think the best thing I can do is learn to learn to accept myself the way I am and focus on the positive. For instance, being very grateful that I am fit and healthy enough to have ridden 23 miles in the great outdoors on this very fine day in NE Ohio.
