Well.......I could make all of the excuses in the world, but the one true one
is that I stopped caring about myself. Totally fell off the wagon!
Back to start again today........need to stop thinking DIET (4 letter word!) and
make it LIFESTYLE CHANGE!! This is it.........I turn 50 in October.......if I
don't start now, tomorrow may not come.

    You will do this!!
    Forgive yourself, look forward and keep optimistic.

    Don't look at it as if it were a diet - look at it now like a lifestyle change - the way you are viewing 50. That may help!

    I'm soo glad you came back. Even though I don't know you personally, I know your story all too well. This is my 3rd or 4th time back. I have been sticking with it for over a month now. It gets easier with each day, so I know you can do it!

    Release the past. I'm 52 and I'll tell you that right now I am in the best shape since I was 25.
    You can lament about the past but can't change anything there.
    But the future is where it is at. Be totally optomistic. Let go of what was and believe that when you look into the future, it is a pictuer of how you want it to be.
    I feel like I am living proof of that at this moment. There is nothing wrong with 50, it is just a number, unless you let it be more.
