Dearest Zetti, Hopefully, Dee and all Great "Pauzers" out there !!!
I have a confession to make regarding all this weight gain stuff.
I too found that my pants all of a sudden began to feel really tight....thought I was just bloated....which indeed I am sometimes....a lot of times. (Hey, sometimes I just feel as if someone has a bicycle pump hooked up to my belly button and is "givin' her" !!! ) It comes on so suddenly at times. Idea for a minnie cartoon, Dee ??!!
Anyway, because my pants became tight (and no drastic weight change) I found a "cool" pair of p.j. bottoms and wear them around a lot....even out. It is the style, right ??

Just won't tell anyone I am 45 !! I also had abdominal surgery last May and had to find something unrestrictive......so now I am a peri-pauzer-jammy-queen !!!! Who needs pants anyway:they are highly overrated !!!!!
I am still getting the food aversions, also have acid reflux disorder (am on prescription for it) but other than all that bothers me; I am great. I have the flu right now.....interesting......hot, cold (yesssssssss), hot, cold (

).
I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and our average daily Feb. temperature is prob. about -15 C. So....there are pluses to it all !!!
Keep smiling everyone.....we have each other and it is a new phase in life, not necessarily an awful one. Love Cin-d-rella.
