Thing is, I've always maintained an ideal weight until a few years ago. I guess age slows your metabolism down. I should probably go to the health food store for a supplement. I used to be really active. I went out every night. I used to play a lot more tennis & soccer. Being a longtime smoker has limited how much physical activity I do now, but I still walk a lot, whenever possible actually. As God as my witness, I will never have a double chin though, that I can assure myself & everyone else.

Yeah, ditto. I know I have a gut. Its not huge, but I don't really feel comfortable with people seeing it, either. I'm attempted "dieting", which is basically just cutting down on snacking, portion control, and substituting beverages with water. My weight doesn't go down at all. I'm about 5'3 and weigh 130 lbs. It seems like a lot, but I can fit into youth large t-shirts well and wear size 4 pants. My arms are pretty skinny. People tell me I'm thin but of course, I think I'm fat. One day I'll think I'm looking good and the next I'll think I look like a cow.
