Going through this right now too. No idea how long it will last, but I have really been trying to focus on my diet and exercise lately. I cannot possibly afford to buy any more clothes. I know for me over the past few months, I have not been eating as well as I could have been so I'm going to try and work on that for sure.
I have nothing to add but am right there with you
I’m currently going through this phase. What helped is to understand the real cause for all of it. Watching your calories and certain exercises (eg cardio) is not going to address growing bellies. I really liked podcast of Dr Sara Gottfried “Female Hormone Expert: How to lose Fat, Reduce stress @ stay young after 40+”. She explains the basics of our bodies changes and what we can consider doing. There are so many options, and not just HRT. She is a doctor herself and it was interesting to hear that she couldn’t get any good advise from her doctor going through menopause.
I was going through the same thing. Thought I was eating well and exercised 4+ times a week, but the pounds just kept adding. I went to a naturopathic doctor, had blood work done to rule out thyroid and metabolism issues, and to baseline many markers. She put me on HRT and recommended supplements, plus a high protein, low carb diet. I've lost 20 pounds and am still losing. There are options to HRT, but I have found it's also helped with other symptoms and I am happy I am on them.
Same, right there with you.
