Same here... in fact I think I might have lost a bit of weight last year, which is bad.

But I'm just waiting for it all to catch up to me... I think I take after my mother who was like me when she was younger and now... not so much.

When I hit the infamous 30 way back when..........WHAM!!!! my body went on a weight gain acceleration path. However if I exercise regularly (that the key) I shouldn't have a problem. I believe the amount of alcohol I consume contributes more to my weight than food. I'm hoping sometime that my parent's metabolism will kick in for me as right now I'm the chubby in the family. But the scale is going downhill and I'm changing (hopefully) my eating habits too.

Poor Ryan .... 6 more pounds..... It's more than I can take

If I look at it too long, or smell too deep....I gain weight. And I've never even had the enviable position of having issues with maintaining my weight.
And if I'm seriously stressed about life (not like one or two stressful days, but overall stressed), I don't even have to see or smell it to gain weight.
But I am happy to say that since my most stressful period in my life, 5-8 years ago when Mom was going through chemo, our relationship stunk, and I had a horrible aweful terrible job at a place that I dreaded going to every day...I've lost about 65 pounds without doing a whole lot different.

If I think about it, look at it, touch it, or smell it....I gain.

Does Charley fix anything that involves Oreos?
I love Oreos.


Nevermind anyway. I started a diet this week.

No, but we did see somewhere where folks battered and deep fried oreos, maybe he could try that for you and serve it up with some good vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup?
