Some days are harder then others. As long as I stay busy, I don't have so much problem. It's when I sit here chatting with you all I have problems:)
But really, any more when I find myself thinking of justifying eating something that I know is not good for me, I suddenly remember how bad I felt last fall/winter. I couldn't hardly get up and walk to the mailbox...it's not just the extra weight either, eating unhealthy just brings on to many other issues besides extra weight. At my age, it's time to consider those things.
I remember what Cathy Bates said in that movie Fried Green Tomatoes...I'm to young to feel this old, and I'm too old to feel young:)...I know just how she feels. There is so much I still want to do, that requires me to feel good physically...so the choice is eat junk and feel like crap and not be able to, or eat healthy and be able to do all the things I want comfortably. For me there is no choice. I won't say never, but I'm sure hoping never again will I let myself go like that again.

I am with you on that! It is hard to beleive that diet can affect you so much but it does. I do not have the achiness I had only a few weeks ago. Even last weekend when I should have been really sore from our ride and rock climbing, I wasn't. I think all those unhealthy chemicals really do affect you and maybe it wasn't so bad when we were younger, but our tolerances are lower now so we feel them more.
