Nope, MMario---it just doesn't work that way. My body has 'settled' into a range, and it doesn't like change. Like the kids I mentioned, it sends hunger signals at certain intervals and I can barely stand it until I eat something...and that is often sweets and/or carbohydrates. It is just my luck that I would have to work as hard to get ^up to 180 as _down to 160.
   Sure...I 'could' lose a few lbs., but with such a minor problem, there's little incentive to suffer! I am hoping that with 'some' extra exercise, and NOT buying that extra pack of cookies (if I don't have it I can't eat it) I may make some progress. I have spent 50 years not needing will power...*grin*....I barely know where it's kept!
