I have been in menopause for about 18 months now. I put on about 30 pounds (mostly around my middle). I also had horrible mood swings. My poor husband and family. Wow! I honestly couldn't control it though. I tried every kind of diet program to lose weight, but nothing would keep the weight off. I was a human yo-yo. I watched some friends of mine use a system to lose their weight; their transformations were amazing. So, I bit the bullet and started the same program. I'm a work in progress, but I've lost 20 pounds and I've kept it off for over a year now. The same program had an answer for my drastic mood swings too. I take an all natural supplement that I've nicknamed "marriage in a bottle." I would have to hate people a lot not to share. If you want to know more, let me know. There is hope out there.
