Hummm...I also used to be a good 25-30 lbs. heavier than I am now.
I was overweight when I was young. That's bad. That's why I encourage young people to lose extra weight while they're still young. No one ever told me that. So, I ended up feeling unattractive for most of my youth, for no good reason really.
I experienced that "metabolism slow down" only recently. Because I think it starts when your kids get old enough so that you're not spending 16+ hours a day running around like a chicken with its head cut off. i.e. up until then, the weight took care of itself.
Odd...I never worry about getting that fat again. It can't happen unless (knock wood) something drastic happens, health wise.
I mean you don't get fat from breathing air. I think it happens when you're stressed and unhappy. I remember eating until my stomach hurt. I don't do that now. Life is too short...
