HOWEVER--the added health benefits barely make up for the massive onset of wrinkles. I may live longer but I look like I have aged 10 years. Luckily, I lost slowly and kept a little surplus so my body isn't too bad and actually looks much better. It's just the face which is hard to cover up without without being Muslim.

Don't know if this will help, but studies show that for the older person a little extra weight is OK. Kind of like a reserve in the event that you become ill. Patients who are hospitalized with serious conditions often lose weight. Those with a little extra weight tend to do better. Likely related to enough protein stores to promote healing.

I remember when my younger sister told me her knees had 'dropped,' I wondered how does that happen?? Then 2 years later MY knees dropped! Things have been dropping ever since on a regular basis! Little Logan looked at my neck the other day and said, "MeeMaw! Your neck is swollen!" No, my dear, it has just dropped!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09623820316056914224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-87766859167040183212016-05-09T18:28:56.773-07:002016-05-09T18:28:56.773-07:00Thanks, enjoying having you as a reader.Thanks, enjoying having you as a reader.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-59837759281445788632016-05-09T18:07:53.821-07:002016-05-09T18:07:53.821-07:00Hilarious look on health and aging.

I would like to get at least ten pounds back off. I would feel better and it would be better for my knees. I have been trying without much success for a long time now. But I would rather eat chocolate.
