...trying to lose weight, that is. I am going to put the scale away, for the umpteenth time, and just focus on eating healthy and getting plenty of exercise/activity.
According to my BMI, I am only slightly overweight. However, because I have a history of gestational diabetes and a parent with diabetes, I know that keeping my weight under control is very important for my health.
But today I read here that slightly overweight adults live longer. This is the second study to find this same result. (The study did not look at quality of life, but they did find that very underweight people were the most likely to die, followed by the extremely obese, Normal weight people and those who were mildly obese had similar chances of dying.)
Maybe our waist lines are just meant to expand as we age.
So here's to throwing out the scale and just being healthy!
