Never Too Late (from here: http://skinnydaily.blogspot.com/)

Heard from Pink recently. She's been following the SDP for quite

awhile. A former dancer with 100 extra lbs. on her, she's been

fighting to get the weight off for years. She's taken up walking,

though, and has been walking daily for most of this past month. The

door has cracked open for Pink. She said she's been concerned lately

that weight loss, fitness is out of her reach. She's been thinking

" it's too late for me. "

That just about pulled my heart and guts right out of my body and

splayed them across my keyboard. No kidding.

It's never too late.

If you want to do this thing, and can make the extraordinary changes

in your life, permanently, to lose and maintain your weight loss, then

it's never too late.

It's never too late to decide to change forever. You can decide now,

today, that you will reorder your life. Live differently.

Deciding to live differently is the key.

I know, I know, there are a lot of messages out there suggesting that

attempting to lose weight is futile. Regaining the weight is

inevitable. But it just isn't so.

It can be done, but it takes extraordinary motivation, behavioral

modification, reordered thinking, attention to detail, time.

You will not succeed, and will almost certainly regain any lost weight

if you don't make permanent changes to your diet and exercise.

You can't lose the weight and then eat like a naturally skinny person.

You can't lose the weight and then stop exercising and expect to

maintain that loss.

You can't ever, ever eat all you want without worry, no matter how

many marathons you run. Not if you staple your stomach, not if you

take crazy metabolism boosting drugs.

If your metabolism stinks and your body is especially efficient at

storing fat, then you will always need to be watchful of weight gain,

will always need to count every calorie and point, mind your

fat/carb/protein ratio, and exercise like crazy.

I'm sorry you and I have this body biochemistry. I really am. But

that's our reality, dear hearts, and we have to live with it.

But I'm telling you it's not too late. You can start right this

minute. If you do the work, you can reach a healthy weight and stay

there. You can.

It's possible. It's hard. It gets much easier once you get the weight

off, get fit, get used to it, but you can't ever stop.

Keep going folks.

Keep going, Pink. Girlfriend. You can do this thing.

Sheesh, you people kill me,

JuJu
