I was blindsided. No one warned me of this. I never saw it coming. At age 57, 4 years after I hit menopause, my entire figure changed for the worse. My weight did not change. It redistributed. I always had an hourglass figure. Now, I am a matronly blob. And I have never been pregnant. At this same weight, before menopause, I was 38"-28"-38." Suddenly, my shapely butt got deleted-- and in its place fell a flat drooping mass of deep wrinkled folds that hung down the backs of my thighs. All the fat that had previously filled out my butt had now repositioned to my waist, midriff, and belly-- giving me a 35 1/2" waist! At the same exact weight. Consider yourself warned.
