I was buff at fifty five

When I was fifty-five I lost weight and got into shape Exercised to the point of near ridiculous, and looked great My daughter said “Mom! You are buff!” I had never been buff before It felt terrific. Some days I wish I was fifty-five again I was never sick, I was super healthy I felt great, and I was eating right No cookies, donuts or other empty calorie foods Not sure what happened but I have gone to pot I think it was the cravings for chocolate and peanut butter. I can hardly look at lettuce or celery now Not as healthy, but comfy in my sweatpants and recliner

I am so sorry about your leg pain - any idea what is causing it?
