Here are the facts, for no apparent reason started to gain weight about a year ago, not only am I now 8 killos heavier, but, have a bulging stomach to show for it.
I am in my early 60's and have had a gradually increasing problem putting my socks on. Of course, I thought this problem was mine alone until I told a friend (as in... Psssst! dont tell anyone but I cant get my socks on anymore!).
My friend laughted and told me he couldnt either and that this was a problem for many older men. Phew! I thought, thank goodness its not only me.
So, for those of you that have actually read this far, are you suffering from this problem, if so, how do you cope?
For those of you that havent solved the problem I suggest the following... Sit on the third step of the stairs, then put your foot on the second step. You should find it easier to get your socks on this way.
