I'm a reasonably active, healthy, 38 year old, and I've been watching my weight creep up slowly over the years with a feeling of resigned inevitability. That's just what happens with age, right? Anyway, a size 12 at age 38 isn't bad, even for a petite 5'0" like myself. But actually deep down I knew I wanted to do something about it, without going down the yo-yo diet route I see in so many of my friends.
The turning point for me was a couple of months ago when, having polished off my plate at a delicious Greek restaurant, I generously helped one or two others finish off theirs, and received a mild-mannered leg-pulling from my dinner companions. "How do you fit so much food into such a small frame?" was the kind of thing.
Later I reflected that no so very long ago, back in university days, I would never even finish my own meal. My then boyfriend was very appreciative, as he used to get an extra half meal every time. How could it be that my appetite had increased so much? My height and build are the same, and so is my activity level, so I couldn't think of any good reason why I'd be eating more at 38 than at 20. Could my stomach have gradually stretched over time? And could I re-educate it?
