I've been pudge most of my life. I'm also short, so it's accentuated. I KNOW that not eating at night and exercising makes me feel better and I lose weight every time. But I fight it and not sure why. I have never been morbidly obese(although the weight charts at the doc's office have classified me that way on occasion at 175lbs).

The bottom line is there is no easy way when you continue living a certain lifestyle. Being sedentary makes me hungry....which it shouldn't. Working out suppresses my appetite.

I'll be 60 in a couple of days. I try to work out every day before work and on the weekend, I am busy riding horses, fixing cattle fences, etc.

I'm a vet so I have medical understanding of these things.....all the weight loss drugs are tradeoffs. Most weight issues boil down to psychology of overeating....and no one wants to touch that with a 10ft pole.

Food, and I am guilty of this, has become a comfort drug to millions of people. I get immense joy out of a fresh baked cookie....it's not nourishment for Americans...it's entertainment and that's dangerous.
