I too, have heard the theroy that fat cells merely shrink and truely never go away. Here in the States we constantly hear about "yo-yo" dieters, who loose weight only to go off their diets and gain it all back and more. Also, as you age, your metabolism slows down and gaining weight is easier. I am pretty old and personally can attest to this in my twenties and thirtis, I excerized regularly and pretty much could eat anything I wanted to and not gain. Later in life, that was not the case, while I still excercised, I had to cut back on many "treats" I used to eat/take for granted. You should be ablet to gain more weight pretty easily.
