In my annual visits with my doctor, I occasionally mention that I consider myself to be about fifteen pounds over my normal mid-life weight. I used to weigh 185 pounds for years, but now at 78, I hover around 200. My doctor’s response has always been, “Oh, it’s not a problem because you need to carry a little reserve at your age.” I’m beginning to understand what he means by that remark.
“...because you need to carry a little reserve at your age...”
That’s my rationale too!😎
