Oh dear, I am 56 and having a bit of a crisis... I was always quite a skinny thing but in the last 3-4 years I have put quite a bit of weight on. I know I will feel so much better if I lose a couple of stone but I just cannot keep motivated for long enough! I think part of it is that I feel old - and that makes me sad (I know, my Gran used to say 'well, it is better than the alternative!'...). I am also finding it hard not to drink a large glass or two of wine of an evening which is part of the reason I have put weight on. Other than kicking myself up the backside I don't really know how to get myself in the right state of mind. Anyone else had this and any ideas of how to get motivated?
