Belly fat

 I know that we tend to get thicker around the middle as we age. I know that BMI in an individual is not a good measure of overall health. And I believe that the guidance to have a maximum 34 inch waistline is not helpful - what if you are under 5 feet tall? More than 6 feet? How does it fit with aa waist to hip ratio, which is also supposed to be relevant? 

That said, I was disturbed to see my waist measurement recently when I was altering a skirt. So I’m going to try to change my eating habits somewhat. I will try to cut down on my carbs and eat more vegetables instead. My colon doctor will be happy, though my colon will be less pleased. I’m going to put this down as another joy of an aging body.
