59 and I've quietly put on about a stone and a half since my periods stopped and I genuinely can't work out when it happened. Went back through some photos trying to pin down a rough timeline because my GP asked and I just stood there going "erm, maybe two years ago? three?" which wasn't very helpful for either of us. Anyway. The thing I'm actually here about is feeding a family while also quietly trying to eat more protein without making a whole announcement about it. My husband will eat anything. My youngest (still at home, 22, acts like he's 14) will not eat anything that looks "healthy" which is exhausting. So I've been sneaking things in. Lentils in the mince. Extra eggs in stuff. Tin of cannellini beans bulking out a chicken tray bake. Nobody has died or complained. Meals are also cheaper which is a bonus I did not expect. The other thing I've started doing is a little walk after dinner. Not a hike. Literally ten minutes round the block while it's still light. I don't always want to go but I almost always feel better for it. Something about not just sitting straight down after eating. No dramatic conclusions. Just noticing things. x
