Not sure how to answer that one. I think maybe I'd be an age where I had high metabolism and my body could move freely and not ache.

17 Diet tips . . .
"I am a work in progress."
"I'll ride the wave. My cravings will disappear after 10 minutes if I turn my attention elsewhere."
"It's more stressful to continue being fat than to stop overeating."
"Make exercise a nonnegotiable priority."
"Do not ignore the "Serving Size" on the Nutrition Facts panel."
"Put a sign on the kitchen and refrigerator doors: "Closed after Dinner."
"Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The large majority of people who struggle with night eating are those who skip meals or don't eat balanced meals during the day. This is a major setup for overeating at night."
"Make eating purposeful, not mindless. Whenever you put food in your mouth, peel it, unwrap it, plate it, and sit. Engage all of the senses in the pleasure of nourishing your body and taste buds."
"Eat the low-cal items on your plate first, then graduate. Start with salads, veggies, and broth soups, and eat meats and starches last. By the time you get to them, you'll be full enough to be content with smaller portions of the high-calorie choices."
"Doctor your veggies to make them delicious: Dribble maple syrup over carrots, and sprinkle chopped nuts on green beans."
"For a quick dinner, use precooked chicken strips and microwave frozen broccoli topped with Parmesan cheese."
"If you're eating due to emotions, you need to focus on getting in touch with what's going on and taking care of yourself in a way that really works. Find a nonfood method of coping with your stress."
"Don't tell yourself, "It's okay, it's the holidays." That opens the door to 6 weeks of splurging."
"For the duration of the holidays, wear your snuggest clothes that don't allow much room for expansion. Wearing sweats is out until January."
"Limit alcohol to weekends."
"Cut back on or cut out caloric drinks such as soda, sweet tea, lemonade, etc. People have lost weight by making just this one change. If you have a 20-oz bottle of Coca-Cola every day, switch to Diet Coke. You should lose 25 lb in a year."
"Once in a while, have a lean, mean salad for lunch or dinner, and save the meal's calories for a full dessert."

Without forgiveness life is governed by...an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation.
- Roberto Assagioli
The positive cycle of forgiveness
OK, be honest. Do you hold grudges? Do you allow old drama to determine your behavior? Is there someone you just can't seem to forgive? Grudges and a non-forgiving attitude do nothing but harm both parties. You might feel like you're "winning" by not letting someone off the hook, but you're only increasing your own worry and stress. Bitterness can lead to hate, which can sour a life. Today, write a letter explaining your point of view to the person you feel resentful towards. Clear the air; forgiving him. Even if you don't send it, it is an excellent way to relieve tension. Forgiving someone does not absolve them of the wrong that you experienced. It can simply free you to live a life that isn't anchored to the hurt and resentment of past events.

Can't remember where I found this, but I think it is some sound advice from Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"Finish each day And be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and Absurdities have crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can."
~*~ Don't satisfy your taste buds to the detriment of your body.~*~
