Thank you, Gary. I'm a small person. I believe a lot of it is genetic.
When I think about it, I doubt the US Marines *today* would allow my
father to enlist if he was once again 17 years old. He was only about
5'8" tall and likely only weighed about 150 lbs when he enlisted. But
hey, it was WWII, right after Pearl Harbor. Everyone joined up.
Mom told me she weighed about 95 lbs. when they got married in 1951.
I've got pictures. Her dress hung on her tiny frame.
I get it from my parents.

Thanks. I don't eat much as it is, Gary. The medication for the
Crohn's Disease has things under control. I'm back to what feels
"normal" for me. I have never been a very active person so no, I'm not
going to start taking a Roomba class.
