I Used to be Such a Good Eater

Back in the early to mid 80s I weighed about 100-120 and my daughter and I wore each others clothes. I jogged 7 miles each day. I rode a mountain bike on the green belt about 3 times a week. I ate salads ALOT. But when I had two bad marriages in a row and realized I was doing all this because they wanted me to be a certain way I made a complete about face. My life now is for me and my kids. I don't feel a need to be fit, weigh next to nothing, and I can eat what I darn well please. Sure I should eat more vegetables. Sure I should exercise. But, I am now enjoying my life for me, not being and keeping up a front for someone else. I still do eat good food but I also enjoy junk if I want. I am no longer trying to be something I'm not and something that isn't who I really am. If I want it I eat it. I don't have to listen to anyone but myself.

I was young and approval was important to me.

As long as you are eating healthy and doing the right thing, you do not need anyone's approval. Enjoy life to the fullest for the better.

I eat healthy when I want to and mostly what I want the rest of the time.

I'm glad I don't have diabetes staring me in the face. I don't know how I could make the changes I would need to make.

@celticeagle I am a borderline diabetic. I have been trying to cut back on the sweets; but it's hard.
