Why I'm Not a Fat Old Lady

If you haven't led the most health conscious existence to date, there's still hope. Today, at 63, I'm very diligent about eating a healthy diet, keeping my weight under control, and sticking to my exercise routine. But stress management is still a work in progress.The reason I say there's hope of change is that I haven't always been a paragon of virtue in the health arena. For fourteen years I was a vegetarian, but not the healthy kind. While I eschewed eating animals, I indulged in over-sized plates of creamy pasta, four-cheese pizzas, crullers, and mounds of chocolate ice cream. I might have saved a few chickens, but I didn't do much for my body. During my stress-filled 23-year career as a corporate litigator, eating was all about expediency. Whatever prepared food was within easy reach was what went into my mouth. After a childhood devoid of athletics, I belatedly happened upon exercise during my law school days, purely as a stress reduction technique. If you, like me, have not gotten off to a banner start on your health and well-being, it's never too late to begin taking baby steps towards changing your habits. One day at a time you can get a little healthier, lose weight, and feel good about yourself again. While you read this book, you will find life episodes you can relate to and you will walk away with the belief that people really can change their health habits at any age.Lorie is the author of four other books available on Amazon: How to Ditch Your Fat Clothes for Good, 40 Ways to Leave Your Lover: That Would Be Junk Food, How to Stay Healthy in a World Designed to Make Us Fat and Lazy, and Aging Beats the Alternative and a Sense of Humor Helps.
