Okay, we all know it seems to stick to us, and sticks in nasty areas, and sticks well, and fast...
BUT, I did a little research. As we women age, we make less and less Estrogen, right?
Estrogen is actually a hormone, and homones are a body producing chemical.
So as we produce less, guess what that does? It creates a Chemical Imbalance in our bodies!
And what is the outworking of that chemical imbalance?
Well, there are tons, as I'm sure you are aware, but guess what ONE particular outworking is?
We can't process sugar!
NOPE, it does not process through our systems the way it used to, by burning off!
Estrogen used to help us do that.
SO, let's REALLY cut down on the sugar intake!
I have seen so many ladies around my age start to drink wine, after work, or to relax....we think, now we can, becaues we have no little fingers tugging at us. We don't have to be at the ready in case of a child's emergency. We had to be responsible, alert.
Now we can come home, put our feet up, watch TV, and have a glass of wine.
Or we get together with our lady friends and what do we do? We chat, purge, release our daily exasperations, all over a glass of wine!
Guess what? It's one of the biggest offenders in making our a**es wide as a bus!
Dang chemical imbalance.
The after 40 culprit of, "Why can't I get this weight off!?"
