Menopause Weight Gain

Menopause Weight Gain can be confusing. So you're not eating any more or exercising any less, but there it is creeping up ever so insidiously. That middle-age spread is slowly but ever so surely wrapping itself around your midriff.

Or alternatively, maybe you do suddenly find yourself with more of an appetite. Could this possibly be because of sex hormone fluctuations that happen during menopause?

Whatever, most women find menopause weight gain difficult to deal with. It's not difficult to understand why when we live in a culture that thinks that even 50 year olds should nip, tuck, diet or gym themselves into the body of a 20-year old!

And if their partners have a problem with their menopause weight gain too - it can be a double whammy. Women can land up feeling misunderstood, unfairly criticized and judged. It can be a challenging time sexually as well, not only because women usually feel less sexy with weight gain but also because of other menopausal symptoms.

Weight Gain during Menopause: Are you finding that you're eating and exercising the same, but your body seems to have a mind of it's own, and it's getting fatter?
