Gaining weight and keeping it is a choice.
There are a myriad of solutions some simple like diet and exercise, some more complex like TRT and glp-1 drugs.<p>I gained a good amount of weight since I had kids, went from a healthy weight of 210lbs at 6'1 to 240lbs at 45 years old.<p>I always worked out so I had good muscle mass but my diet was terrible, often consuming a pint of ice cream at night once the kids went to sleep.<p>I got on TRT and compound semaglutide and now I am 215lbs with abs and in the best shape of my life. I recently benched 405lbs at 46 years old. Prior to this I could do 2 pull ups if I was lucky I can rep 10 - 15 now. My stress levels are down, my blood pressure is in a healthy range for the first time in decades. I go to the gym 5 days a week, sometimes 6 and I love it. There are always solutions, we don't have to accept a slow decay.
