     This is an excerpt from my book: WHATEVER! A Baby Boomer's Journey Into Middle Age

Some people call it a midlife crisis.  I call it cruel and unusual punishment.  My middle aged years have resulted in some spreading, sagging and cellulite---while my breast, stomach and lap are getting better acquainted.  Gone are the days when I could chow down at the all-you-can-eat buffets and never gain a pound.  These days everything I eat goes straight to my waistline.  Sometimes all I have to do is look at food and I gain weight.  Over a two-year period, I gained about twenty-five pounds.  That may not sound like alot to you, but to a diva who bragged about being a Miss Size Four, it was very traumatic!

My doctor said the weight gain was the result of my metabolism slowing down.  It's all a part of the aging process.  But there is good news according to her.  "Just cut back on your caloric intake, Beverly, and exercise, she said."  That will keep your weight under control.

Oh, that's just great.  Not only do I have to eat like a bird. Now I have to sweat like a pig in the gym!

Okay, I really have to get this book. Lol! I was planning to read your other stories but the battery on my laptop is about to die. Great funny page, Beverly!

God bless,

Sandie.

As someone who's also encountered that middle-age spread (mine started as an early-age spread) I can sypmpathize. Funny, Beverly.
