The Surprising Truth About Menopause and Weight Gain That Doctors Aren’t Telling You
The annoying cycle of weight and food preoccupation
Hormonal transitions (puberty, pregnancy, menopause) often cause changes to women’s body shape and size.
Sometimes that’s welcome (“Ooh, a butt!”) and sometimes it’s not (“Darn, a butt!”).
Some women—like me—don’t worry too much about their weight or body shape. Then, we gain unexpected (and unwanted) pounds, and with that, a new (also unwanted) preoccupation with the scale.
Many women also find that as they try to get a handle on the scale, their preoccupation with food may (frustratingly and paradoxically!) shoot upwards—especially if they turn to restrictive diets or food rules for a solution.
