Today's Topic: Note to your future self.

We've often discussed what you would say to your past self, if you could go back in time, to help get you on the right path for health and weight. Today, let's try something different: if you were going to write a note to yourself that you would only open towards the end of your life (and let's assume that such a point is far in the future), what would you say?

    I guess I'd want to remind myself that no matter how things turned out, I tried to put myself on a good and appropriate path. I may not have always made the right choices, but I thought I was doing the right thing at the time. Finally, I hope I can forgive myself for choices I made that turned out to be "bad" choices in retrospect.

    Perhaps, I'd also want to remind myself about how great things are: great wife and kids, good career, and (at this moment), I did get my weight under control and maintained a healthy weight for ~13 years, plus got my overall health into a pretty good spot. I hope I was able to keep up with all of those things over time as well.

    As old blue eyes sang
    regrets, I've had a few
    but then again too few to matter!
