Lynne, I hope you go to see a doc for a checkup and listen to everything the
doc says.  You don't have to believe the doc or anything, but at least you
can get some data on how you're doing.  I go to the doc every 2 years at
least.  He's my age.  He tells me "Hey, you know..I've got another patient
about your build and he started the Atkins and lost 60 lbs and he feels great
and his good cholesterol levels improved."  So I did Atkins and now I'm back
to low calorie nutrition just cuz its better on my skin.  I totally know I'm
overweight and that its bad for my long term health.  I'm doing what I
can...lots of walking and eating a couple apples and yogurts every day along
with tons of water..and yea I have a decent meal for dinner or lunch depending
on my hunger.  The big thing for me is keeping the kitchen and my work
backpack supplied with nutritious stuff and making sure I get out to walk to
relieve stress and enjoysunshine, etc etc etc
8 years is too long.  Please go get a checkup.  I'm not judging you or
anything but I'm just advising you cuz at our age we can't afford to slack
off from the doc more than maybe 3 years at a time.  History of smoking and
being overweight is nothing to take lightly.
