nice post! so amazing and inspirational how much weight you've lost. You do have a fantastic attitude.

I've thought about how it would have been if I'd been a healthy weight at a younger age (I'm 45). Maybe it's the path I was meant to take. I can't change the past, but I can work on the now and future.

seems like I've counted on the plod factor a lot more than on the oomph factor, which never seems to stay long with me. Habit kicks in for the most part, though I suppose there is an amount of motivation needed to avoid extra goodies still. I'm amazed I came through a week's vacation unscathed. Many voices from 3FC in my head helped.

I so agree! I have two "sets" of children (two marriages), and the difference between what I did with the first "set" when I was morbidly obese, and what I am doing with the second "set" ten years later is profound.

I never went on the fair rides with my older kids when they were little.
I went on all the rides with my younger kids yesterday.

I plan to have WAY more energy by the time my littlest one reaches kindergarten. I have so many things I missed out on at 30 and I am NOT oging to miss them at 40, too.

WTG!
