a whole new way of thinking

i'll be 40 this spring. when i was pre-teen, i was kinda chunky, then in my teenage years, i got all gangly and thin.

then in my early twenties i got kinda chunky again, then, from my mid twenties to my mid-thirties...i was pretty thin. (reallll thin at one point)

from my mid thirties to now, i've noticed a slowing of my metabolism....how? well, when i work out consistently, i get more 'bulked' up of course but the 15+ pounds i'd like to lose doesn't seem to budge.

i'm told that i need to change my way of thinking regarding food....that i cannot eat like an 18 year old at this age. i'm not sure i want to hear this, but i know it's true....the goals suggested to me are doable and reasonable....

i miss eating almost a whole pizza in one sitting though ;).....gone are those days and they have been for a long time (i never have more than 2 or 3 pieces of pizza!), but i suppose 'portion control' will need to be even more of a reality if i want to kick start my metabolism......i just get so hungry sometimes!!! :)
