That dress or that bikini will continue to be in your closet whether you have an apple or a slice of chocolate cake.
Get serious about losing weight for you and for yourself only. Family members mean well but the bottom line is that you are the determinant of what you consume and the food choices that you make on a daily basis.

DynamicS, thank you for your comment. Denise Austin is purposely pictured because she is upwards from thirty. The metabolism issue is a reason most people believe that weight is difficult to lose as they age. Metabolism is a great deceiver and will keep people not getting serious about losing weight.
The problem is not metabolism because your body will respond to physical activity. Just as if you keep bending a piece of metal, eventually the metal will give in. Your body works the same way and responds to consistent and continuous exercise regardless of the age of the person.
People in nursing homes are benefited by exercising with the use of their arms. If you are able to exercise with your whole body, the problem is not related to age. The problem is that it is difficult to change the game and get out of the routine of falling into the reasoning that people lose weight slowly as they get older.
You have to get serious about losing some serious weight and to do that you have got to know for a fact that your body will respond to diet and exercise.
It is easy to use words like a slow metabolism and age-related reasons for not losing weight than to take a twenty or a thirty minute walk. Unless you were told by your physician that you could not exercise, then there is no reason for you to even start by doing some of the exercises that some of the senior citizens do such as arm lifts and arm rotation. These simple movements can get you started while being sedendary. Progress into walking when you are committed to walking daily to get serious about losing some serious weight.Arm and leg exercises can be perfomed by being sedentary and sitting.
However, walking is what everyone does to get from point A to point B and that is why it is the best way to start losing weight. You have to be serious about losing some serious weight and the only way you can do that is to stop talking yourself out of getting active.
Smelling food does not put the weight on. Smelling food only entices you to eat and that is the correlation of your sense of smell with your sense of taste. That is a natural reaction; to smell a certain food and then to eat because of its delicious aroma. Chefs are knowledgeable of this fact and work with both senses to please the palate.
If you are serious about losing weight, you will not allow the sense of smell to make you eat. You will need will power to separate the two senses of smell and taste that works very well together. If you are trying to lose weight, there is no strength in you to say no to will power. The power of your sense of smell with take over and you will be forced to taste and give in to the temptation of eating the delicious smelling food.
If you are serious about losing some serious weight, you will not bring such foods into the kitchen that is spiced up to enhance you appetite for eating. Most of the foods that entices you with your sense or smell are nondietary entress such as fried foods. Most of these foods are red meats that are not good for you fried, broiled or baked.
Include more fruits and vegetables into you daily meals. You will not be enticed with smell and you will be eating healthier. Go online and find menus that make dark green leafy vegetable as a main course.
If you are serious about losing some serious weight, you will eat food for its mutrional value that is also tasty. Do not give in to the aroma of fried foods that when cooked and makes it seem like you are gaining weight because of the aroma.
You have to digest the food to gain weight and should learn to eat to live instead of living to eat. Eating sustains life and you just have to learn to eat healthier the abundace of healthy food that is most grown from the soil.
You are living to eat if you choose to give in to the aroma of fried foods and should opt to eat to live healthier. Most people who live to eat are the ones who gives in to the aroma of food and overeats placing on their bodies ginormous weight that sometimes in extreme cases have to be surgically removed.
Get serious about your weight loss by changing the game and begin to eat to live healthier, regardless of your age.

What about if you are over 40? It is more difficult to loose weight as one's metabolism slows. I find that even if I smell certain foods, I put weight on. I feel like I'm not seeing much progress. Anyway, I should be positive about loose weight, so I'll keep work at it.
Thanks for writing about such important matter.
