Menopause and Weight Loss

Aging is an inevitable factor of life and so is menopause. This passage of life can occur when a woman is between the ages of 35 and 60. The age range is so wide because this natural occurrence is unique to the individual. It is believed that a woman will experience menopause close to the age that her mother went through it. Outside factors like a hysterectomy or radiation treatment can bring about menopause early. This life event can take more than a decade to run its course. There are three stages: perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. When a woman has … Continue reading

On the Weight Watchers Wagon…Again: A Bathing Suit in February

I know what you are thinking: a bathing suit in February, are you crazy? This is the time of year when we are “legally” allowed to be covered in layers of clothes or bundled under the blanket in front of the fire. You technically don’t have to show skin for quite some time. But it’s true, I did it. I wore a bathing suit, in public, in the middle of February. It was for my kids (the things we mothers do). A new indoor water park just opened up complete with slides and a lazy river. My perpetually skinny friend … Continue reading

Momma’s on a Diet: McDonalds? Count me In!

Yes, I know I’m on a diet. By tradition I’m supposed to eat crispbread, low fat cottage cheese, lettuce leaves and a side helping of tomatoes topped with dried rosemary to indicate that food can still have taste whilst being low in calories. But you see, the thing is, I’m not big on tradition – well not as far as diets go. They’ve never really worked for me. Dr Phil McGraw always says “How’s that working for you?” as an indicator as to whether you are doing something the right way or not. Well the truth is, the traditional way … Continue reading

On the Weight Watchers Wagon…Again: Day 1

It’s now 8:55pm so I think I can safely say I made it through my first day back on the Weight Watchers wagon, and by all accounts it was a success. Early this morning I got out my new journal and wrote today’s date, ready to start anew. It’s quite inspiring, taking out the clean, white journal with nothing written in it, no slip ups or splurges recorded, you still have your total Point allotment that day; it is as if you are born again. (Well, I’m guessing about that one as I am Jewish, but you get the point). … Continue reading

On the Weight Watchers Wagon…Again: Recommitting

I know there are a lot of women out there in the same position as me: they are active; exercising daily, but still can’t seem to lose those last few pounds. I have always been a very active person but I’ve also always struggled with my weight. My friends are amazed when I reveal any kind of weight issue with them because they all know me as the “super-fit, super active Sue.” They just assume, you do a little exercise and the weight will come off, but not so for me. It doesn’t matter how much activity I do, it’s … Continue reading
