In August, I will be 70. I am not new here, but I am back here weighing more than I ever have before. Have I learned anything from my failures? I don't know. I always think I "get it", but my results show otherwise.
So, what happened this time? In addition to my sedentary job, I got addicted to genealogy. You know - Ancestry dot com? I have been sitting on my behind for about 2.5 years gazing into the past while mindlessly consuming things like Rice Crispie Treats, cheese sandwiches and buttered bread. When I got tired of all this excitement, I would relax by watching a few saved episodes of "House Hunters" on TV and eat chocolate covered almonds.
I was pretty successful with the genealogy, and learned about housing prices after the bust, as well as achieving significant weight gain. LOL!
No "big bones" here; I am not "carb sensitive", I am not allergic to anything, my metabolisim is just fine. I am fat because I eat too much and don't exercise. Period. This is not to put down anyone who suffers any of the above. It just happens that I don't have any of these issues.
Are there any other 70 and above folks on here who have or have not learned anything about weight control and fitness by applying their many years of accumulated wisdom? If so, let's talk.
