    In the last 6 months I've had 3 family members die young, very unexpectedly, and none through accidents or violence (the youngest was only 18), and one friend who just had a brain aneurysm this last week.

    YOU CANNOT WAIT TO START TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF!

    Life is so short, and you want to be healthy and vital for as long as possible. Cherish your body and good health, believe that you and the people who love you are worth it, and care for it like it's the most prized possession you have... because it is! Everyone's #1 goal on this site should be the same thing: to be as healthy as possible.

    Get busy living, or get busy dying.

    Very true!! Love your thinking....it's definitely a lifestyle change not a diet! I hate to think that I will have to log my food forever but if I don't want to put the weight back on it's best to stay mindful of what I'm eating and how many calories are in them.

    I couldn't agree more. Also, everyone's on a diet.. we've just decided ours is healthier and more productive than most. :)

    I feel the same way...It's to easy to fall back in to old habits...That is why I had the extra weight. I'm much happier now, and I don't ever want to go back!

    Good for you!!

    You just took the words right out of my life, and probably out of thousands of other mouths.

    EXACTLY! I feel the same way!!!! I plan on food journaling probably for at LEAST the next 5 years. For me personally, I realize healthier eating HAS to be a way of life, not a fad or a trend to look better, but a way of living, thinking and being.

    Thanks for sharing what so many of us have been thinking!

    God Bless!
