As a part of my 180 during this time of (what I think is) reconciliation, I've made the promise to 'reinvent' myself and get into the best shape/look of my life.
I started during the dark days after d-day but have coasted back to my old ways until this morning!!
I thought the xCOW was at least (AT LEAST) 10 years my senior....boy was I wrong!!! She is two years younger....you'd never know it!!!!!
Finding out this tidbit today has given me enough of a kick in the rear to really get moving and make myself look/feel the very best I ever have in my life! This will be good for me and great for my kids! (look out WH LOL).
So, don't put off taking care of yourselves! Give yourself the gift of good health, looks and attitude! It really helps!
Again, so glad I found you all (well, not really but you know what I mean!) You are all the best support group in the entire world....

I'm almost 6 mos from Dday and get compliments on my 'new' look often.
You go girl!!!
Plus, it had the added benefit of pissing off my WW. She kept asking "why are you running?". My response since D-day has been "my well being and to get myself in a more marketable condition".
Someone with more knowledge of human psychology can probably give more insight, but someone told me at one point that the reason affirmations work so well is that it really does trigger a neurological response in the brain. Whether we believe something or not, if we say it enough times, our brain commands our bodies to follow suit. It does work!
