I wasted over a decade and a half of my life being stuck in my own head. Well, that is over.

It is never too late!

My 39th birthday party.....

    I'm 44 and only halfway through my journey, but am in probably the best shape of my life. Not the thinnest I've been, but definitely the strongest.

    great post Hoss! Hits home for me.

    I often catch myself bemoaning the fact I didn't start losing weight earlier..but can't let thoughts like that sabotage!

    I wasted over a decade and a half of my life being "stuck in my own head." Well, that is over.

    Is that the answer?? I need to pull my head out of my @ss to do this? I wonder. Have I been stuck in my head for 27 years and now the only way for me to lose weight is to come back to reality and face what I've done?!

    What a powerful sentence. Makes you think.

    Nice accomplishment! Always encouraging to see age not be a barrier to weight loss.
