Reply #288: Are you female? [View All]

My gynecologist said the stresses in women's lives have caused many a woman to gain weight without even really eating a lot.

It's the culture. Women now mostly work out of the home, but are still charged in our culture with taking care of children, working like slaves at home and getting very little rest.

It usually hits us when we hit about 30 to 35 (it was 37 for me, after my second child). I'd never had a weight issue before - or, if I did, I could lose it relatively quickly. Now, it's like pulling eye teeth.
