My friend I share a similar issue and situation, however I am severely overweight.
I need to cut down myself.
And a lot of times my Gloria cooks for all of us or I cook, it's not that money is spent a lot. We eat out but mostly eat at home, however I continue to put weight on.
So trust me my friend, I share a mutual feeling.
During this summer I will try and go on walks with my nephew at the park, hopefully it helps shed a few pounds for me.
