I have been with Sparkpeople since i turned 55. Thats 5 years in case you wondered when that was. I had lost weight 3 years ago for the wrong reasons, than I put it back on. I think about all the times I have lost weight over my lifetime and it was always when I was going through a bad time in my life. This is not good. Why cant I lose the weight because I am happy and just want to be happier with myself being healthier. Well today is the first day of a new start for me. I am fairly happy ...

I have been with Sparkpeople since i turned 55. Thats 5 years in case you wondered when that was. I had lost weight 3 years ago for the wrong reasons, than I put it back on. I think about all the times I have lost weight over my lifetime and it was always when I was going through a bad time in my life. This is not good. Why cant I lose the weight because I am happy and just want to be happier with myself being healthier. Well today is the first day of a new start for me. I am fairly happy but could be alot happier if I could fit in a theatre chair better, fit between spaces that normal size people can fit through, or have to move aside because someone cant pass me because they cant get around me. Last year I fell down somewhere in public and it was a very hard concrete floor. it hurt so bad and when I hit the floor I could feel the impact that it made and it hurt all through my body. I dont feel good when I overeat and I know it before I eat that I will probably have heartburn.
Why am I telling you all this? I want to make a commitment to myself in front of others that I will starting today be good to my body, because it deserves to be taken care of. God gave us only one body and it isnt very nice we dont treat it like he wants us too. I come on here everyday and will read my sparkpeage to remind me to keep that commitment.
