Right so I'm not here to overhaul my life. I just need to stop arriving at 4pm feeling like I've been hit by a bus and then eating half the kitchen before tea. I've been trying eggs at breakfast instead of toast-and-nothing and honestly. Honestly. I don't know if it's the protein thing or just that I'm actually eating a proper breakfast for once in my adult life but I'm less mental by lunchtime. Scrambled eggs, whatever's in the fridge, done in four minutes. Not fancy. Not expensive either which matters because the food shop is already eye-watering. The bit I'm trying to figure out though, because I've got a GP appointment coming up, is whether the weight creeping up around my middle is a perimenopause thing or just. life. I've not changed what I eat dramatically, I've not suddenly stopped moving, but something shifted in the last 18 months and I can't tell if that's relevant to mention or if she'll just say eat less and exercise more and I'll have to smile and nod. Has anyone actually tracked when it started, like written it down with dates? I'm wondering if I should go in with something more specific rather than just "I've put on weight and I don't know why" which sounds vague even to me x
