[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 745655, member: 1550"] I agree with Elsi. Excerise is not just for losing weight. I exercise even when I am a normal weight, like now. I care less about the "beauty" benefits (after a certain age we have the right not to worry about that in my opinion) and more about the health and cognitive benefits. It can help a lot. Many people my age are mobility challenged....some become so in their 50s.. this is often due to not bring in shape combined with smoking (I hate smoki g and what it does to nice people). But some things are out of our control. My uncle, who weighed nothing;/anorexic was a big time runner. 20 miles when he was still in his 50s. Never smoked. In his early 60s developed Lewy Body dementia and died very sick in a wheelchair. So all his worry about weight, running and health did not help him. He died realitvely young and suffering Nobodu cared more about his health than he did although maybe.his poor eating was a factor here. He was a skeleton tje last tume I saw him.. He had lost 20-30 pounds and looked old. I dont feel it is in any way healthy to worry about being skinny. In my ientrest in anorexia, in which I studied it in detail and still do, it is a life long problem I learned. Nursing homes have many patients who misuse laxatives to lose weight! I hadnt known that! Copa maybe your body is telling you that you are at a good weight for you. You are not overweight. You do not have to think about it. After everything I have and am learning about the obsession (not saying you have one) to be thin, it sounds terrifying and a real mental illness wirh a high mortality rate. Excercising can be done simply because you feel good after and your body stays limber. "if you dont use it, you lose it." Hugs to all. Have a peaceful, amazing day! [/QUOTE]
