You haven't seen me. I was slim until my surgeries for ovarian cancer in 1979 and 1981. Since that time I have been overweight and PD makes no difference nor does exercise it seems. At 5'2" I'm pushing 148 lbs. I don't pig out either but this happened to both my mother and maternal grandmother after menopause. They hit 200 lbs!! However, seeing the cadaverous Tammy Fay with those mascaraed racoon eyes makes me feel fat is not so bad. When I had CA they told me not to diet. Somewhere in my consciousness I must equate fat with life.....still I wish I could get a benefit from PD.
