I guess I am one of the lucky ones.
When I got out of the Navy 30 yrs ago I weighed 225 lbs.
Have been 225 + or _ 10 lbs ever sense.
I dont eat a lot at one time, but eat a lot all day long.
Makes my body think there is food always around, no need to build up fat for lean times.
As we get older we slow down, start to eat 3 squares a day, the body gets to thinking
it need to store fat, so eat all day long.
My day, 6am egg, sauge bisket and 3 cups of coffee.
bout 9 or 10 pack or 2 of peanut butter crackers and green tie form kroger(I drink a lot of this).
12 to 1 light lunch, BK chicken sandwich or some kinda chicken. I dont eat a lot of red meat.
3 to 4, snack like in the morning.
Supper what ever the OL fixes, did I tell ya I eat a lot of chicken.
At night I snack as well.
Been doing this for years and I still weight 215 to 225 lbs, 6'3", 50 plus years old.
No I dont work as hard as I used to, but my work keeps me moving, climbing ladders, up and down off the floor.
A LOT of walking, No I dont take the stairs unless there is no other way.
Congrats to all yall that have lost weight, It aint what you eat, It is how much you and how often.
