When I started going to school in 1970, I was taught about the food pyramid from day one. It tells you about normal portions, and to eat more from the bottom food group (grains, nuts, fish, etc) then from the top food group like oils, meat, etc.

So why is it that women my age are so incredibly overweight??? Lose weight! Exercise!!! Holy cow, it's incredible. They mark 'average' when they are 40lbs overweight!!

Listen women, 120lbs is average for a women 5'5" tall. Anything over that and you need to go on a diet.

5'5" and 150lbs is OVERWEIGHT.

If not for your man and to look better, at least do it for your health.
