I was a picky eater. Unfortunately, what I picked were
things like french fries. And because I was the sole kid
in a house with four adults, they always found it easier to
make me macaroni with butter, salt and pepper than fight
with me over food.

I have been overweight or obese as long as I can
remember. It's a struggle, even now when I enjoy healthful
foods like vegetables, to refrain from gaining, much less
lose any. And menopause isn't doing me any
favors in the metabolism department.
