My 40th bday is looming and I have been working towards being at my goal weight by then. I call it the "17 with an ass that wouldn't quit" body. For me, its really not about the number on the scale but more how I feel when I look in that mirror every morning. Its about how GOOD I physically felt then, the energy levels that I had, etc.

I know that I can't possibly recapture that 17 again - I want to be BETTER than I was - I don't want the next decade of my life to be "shoulda woulda coulda" because my body at the heavier weights wouldn't allow me to do what I wanted.

I don't have fibro but I saw an article yesterday about the relationship of carbs, nightshades, sugar and fibro myalgia. Interesting that this morning you post a personal experience that reflects what I read in the article yesterday.

I've found as I get older, my brain still thinks I'm 16. As I get weight off my body starts to deliver on that mindset. Just remember what the white rabbit said or was that Grace Slick... You're only as pretty as you feel inside.
