I don’t want to say it was easy, but maintaining a healthy weight required a lot less effort in my 20s and 30s. A few fries here or a slice of cake there barely made a difference in the grand scheme of things. And I never thought twice about saying yes to a happy hour after a hard day at work. But something happened after age 40, and now it takes a whole lot more than a spin class and a protein shake to see a difference on my scale.
