At my age, I feel that I want to enjoy my food. I read somewhere you have to be one-third overweight before it causes long-term health difficulties. Therefore I do allow myself the occasional bar of chocolate, usually at the weekend. Sometimes if you have a craving for a particular food, it's your body's way of telling you that you have a deficiency in some constituent such as bananas for potassium.
The main reason I decided to lose weight was because after walking I was getting pains in my knees, and I felt my legs might not be able to carry me.
