There has to be a reason, there just has to be . . .

For what, you ask? How about the way my pants fit? OK, I know I am getting older (closer to 40 than to 30) but something has happened, slowly over the past year or more. It isn't leftover baby weight, as I was actually thinner when my son was an infant than before I got pregnant.

Now, I know being a size six and having five to ten extra pounds may not seem like much to fret about, but it is frustrating when I have been doing so much over the past few months to get back into fitness. Even though I have lost some inches, my pants still don't fit. Another point of frustration is that I have never had to watch what I eat due to an extremely high metabolism, and now when I do, it shows no results.

Can I really blame the extra pounds on age? Fitz says no, and I want to believe her. So what could be the problem, short of a thyroid problem, which I am sure I don't have! Here's my latest "excuse" . . .
