Menopause = WTF happened to my body??

I am two years into menopause and I don’t recognize my own body. In a short 2-3 years I’ve gained over 10 pounds, have flab in places I’ve never had before and went up almost two sizes! TBH, I’m not as active and I do have more sweets, but I’ve done these same things before throughout my life and my body never changed as it has now. I’ve always been thin and never thought much about watching my weight, so this is totally bugging me out. Anyone else experiencing this?

I hear you. I'm 5 years into menopause and its been downhill for me as well. I find it so hard to get motivated some days. I have gained 10-13 lbs (depending on the day I weigh myself).
I've read stuff on carb cycling, fasting… its honestly so confusing…. :(

With you. I'm 3 yrs into HRT, 1.5 years post menopause and only 44. My perimenopause was really noticeable at 37. Since Jan 2022, I've gained 11kgs, that's almost 25 lbs! I dont know what to do anymore. This consumes me.
