I am sure the doctors and scientist can fully explain why it is harder to shed unwanted pounds as you grow older. In my case, I was a jogger and weightlifter for many years of my life. Staying in decent shape was a high priority. They always told me watch out the day you quit because your body will soon turn to mush.

I had serious spinal surgery in 1995. That ended the jogging career and began the slow journey to gaining unwanted weight. Not much has really worked. I try to watch what I eat and occasionally get mad when my pants fit to tight but I noticed that my mental tenacity to fight the good fight is not what it used to be. Recently I actually read the fine print on a couple prescriptions my doctor has me on and one specifically says may increase appetite and the other suggests that my body’s metabolism will burn fat more slowly.

Apparently something changed in my brain chemistry and the doctor decided to put me on a medication to solve the sleep problem at the expense of the side affects which were mainly increased appetite and the inability of my body to burn off the fat like it used to when I was younger and more active.

Now I look at the articles about how packing extra weight around the mid section, particularly with my body shape, as a prime target for all kinds of health issues. I know it’s a problem. I have a history of heart problems starting with my dad, and now I know I have to do something but its a battle that seems somewhat difficult to win. Starving seems to have little affect. Walking probably keeps matters from getting worse but it all comes back to the medication which affects both my will to take action and my body’s ability to help me win the fight.

As I write this I know that I must find an answer or end up another statistic. What I do know is that old and skinny is probably a better place to be vs. short and somewhat pudgy. Stay tuned as I was again renew my resolve to win the battle of the bulge.
