I have been going through menopause myself since I was about 40 I am now 49. And due to having had breast cancer at 35, I cannot take any hormone replacement therapy but neither would I want to.
Nelly you are not one of the unlucky ones that will have to take hormones for the rest of your life - That is TRUE for everyone who takes them, as the minute you stop, your body goes back into its natural menopause. So you are better off going through it and getting it over and done with. Although I must admit - after nearly 10 years I am sick to death of the symptoms - I hate hot flushes. It is supposed to be over with in under 5 years.
I agree with you that menopause makes it hard to loose weight and easy to put weight on. I do not eat junk food or takeaways and eat a healthy diet.
