And someone to go through it with you.
Most problems are easier to cope with when you have a freind/partner to share the experience with. Probably one of the harder aspects is social isolation and thinking you are the only one having the sort of troubles you have.
Many of us (particularily the older guys) have a lot of trouble keeping the weight down once the metabolism switches to geezer mode (and in my case the appetite remains stuck in athlete mode). I find it hard to take ballerina portions seriously.
Yep, I just switched over about 6 months ago. Went from "can't gain weight if I try" to "where the crap did this extra 10 pounds come from?"
Now my eating habits are drastically different from what they were a year ago. I don't like it one bit, but I like it a whole lot more than looking at ol' tubby in the mirror.
