Racer, I wish I could give you some of the 25+ lbs. I've gained in the past year. I used to be able to fit in size 12 jeans. Now I'm lucky that the 18s fit still.
It doesn't help that the holidays are coming up, either.
Do you like to cook? That makes me gain weight -- especially if I like what I'm cooking because I keep eating it.
One other idea: my boyfriend has always had trouble keeping weight on. (I think that's been part of my downfall... He loves apple pie. I like to make apple pie. If I make him apple pie, I get to eat some too...) Anyway...he buys that superduper high-calorie nutritional supplement that comes in cans. Wal-Mart has its own brand, one regular, one even higher-cal. He has one of those higher-cal ones every night.
One last idea: (light-hearted, but also serious). I went to Starbuck's today. They have eggnog lattes this time of year. (Oh, gawd help me. I don't own jeans any bigger than these...)
