Half A Stone

[poliphilo]

I've put on half a stone over the last year. I know why: it's because I used to walk everywhere and now I don't. I used to say I liked walking everywhere, but if that had been really true I would still be doing it, wouldn't I- car or no car?

The question is, should I fight to regain my previously trim figure or accept the plumping up as an unavoidable symptom of the ageing process?

And, no, before someone suggests it- wild horses wouldn't succeed in dragging me to the gym.

Well, seven pounds, in the grand scheme of things, isn't much. But - *steps up on soap box* - common sense says that: if you don't make a few nods in the directions of eating a bit less (or more sensibly, perhaps) and exercising more, your weight gain will not stop there, and your health WILL deteriorate. But you knew that, didn't you?;)

*gives stern look, wags finger and steps down off of soap box and bows*

You're right, of course, I need to take steps. Thank you for being severe with me :)
