I think it was just life in general dealt me a few hard knocks and things fell into a different perspective for me. My hubby getting diagnosed with cancer was a major one, and then my eldest son was also quite ill – and that was in my later 50’s and when that kind of turmoil hits you – it really puts things into perspective as to what is important and what is not. Yet if you had told me at 50 when I lost the weight – I would be that way in 10 years time I would have called you crazy. In my early 50’s I was obsessed. There isn’t a better word for it because it was just that. Obsession. Also a lot of my friends were the same age and thinking exactly the same too. I think society as a whole bombards you with things at both 50 and 60. The sad truth is that at 50 it seems important and then at 60 you realise its all BS. I know looking back in hindsight if I had my 50’s again I wouldn’t chose to do half the things I had obsessed about again, because it was just such a waste of energy. Yet I know at the time it felt like a matter of life and death.

| That's a good attitude, TM. I just turned 50 and am still upset about every wrinkle and sag. I hope I mature mentally into your better way of thinking. Any advice? Did it just happen or did you consciously do something to change your way of thinking? |
