Introduction Text I want to loose weight and eat better. Be healthy overall...At 40 years old, I think its time to change and change is GOOD! I've always been a late bloomer, and now is my chance! It's NEVER too late! I wish I could say I didn't notice the weight I've put on or that its just happend., it's been slowly creapung up higher and higher since I started college (over 20 years ago).... Over the years, I half heartedly attempted to be more vigilant in what I ate, and how active I was. By that I mean, when asked if I wanted to join a gym and exercise with a friend, I did.. then proceeded to go for maybe 2 years, and stopped. Then about 10 years ago, since I still had the membership (yes I know, what a WASTE!), I recommitted to loosing weight. At that time, it was the heaviest I'd ever been at 190. I got a trainer, and learned how to execercie properly and eat less and eat healithly. It worked, I lost about 20 pounds, and tried to do without the trainer's help. It didn't work. I put it back on and more over the last 10 years. Then again, another half hearted attemp last December when I had a check up and saw I had gotten to 208! Without really trying, I lost 5 pounds in a month. Then I decided to really watch what I ate, and recommitt, that's when I logged back into SparkPeople! I'm still not excercising like I should, but I much more aware and careful with what I eat! No more excuses, it's time to be proactive and be in control of my health. I will stop pretending what I eat doesn't matter or that I wish I could loose weight. Because it does matter what I eat and I can loose weight! I want to be around for my family and be a good example for my little boy. It's NOT too LATE! "There are only two options regarding commitment. You're either IN or you're OUT. There's no such thing as life in-between."- Pat Riley, basketball coach
