As people get older, weight can be a tough thing to maintain. Teenagers worry about getting fat. They either become anorexic or bulimic. Then there are adults, who get obsessed with staying thin, that it can do serious damage to their health.
Everyone has different opinions. Some people are happy to be overweight. But then you can encounter health problems. Heavy breathing, shortness of breath, sore knees, weak hips and swollen ankles. Due to the weight that the body has to endure.
When I was heavier, than I am now. My feet were hurting and so were my calves. But ever since I lost 30 some pound and exercising, my body is not going through any pain.
It's not easy to lose weight. It's easy to say "I will go on a diet", "eat better" and "join a gym." To actually do those things and maintain it, is another story.
I'm very lucky that I have someone like my husband, to support me and who is also taking part in, eatting and exericising to stay healthy.
