I'll be 52 this year, and peri-menopause/menopause is kicking my butt! Even heavy, I've always had a waist...

My weight's not going up... but my waist sure feels/looks/measures "thicker". >.<

Oh, and I'm living next door to/sharing elder care with carbaholics. Mom and brother are awful. Mom wants to "lessen the sin" by sharing with Daddy, who's bedridden and toothless. Urgh. I won't make the desserts, but brother sure will!
