Tomorrow Is Another Day! Inspiration at any age

I just read an article about a woman who, during the first fifty years of her life used uppers and downers, emotional suppression, and greasy food to tap down any problems she had in her life, including her weight. She raised her son on microwave dinners and hid her 200+ lb body with giant clothing and denial. However on her 50th birthday she decided to change her life and discover herself. Over the next year she lost 100 pounds and found happiness through will power, pride and acceptance. She says that her only regret was not having made the decision to change her life earlier.

I always find stories of those who lose massive amounts of weight inspiring, but this woman stirred even more 'you can do it!' feelings. This woman has already lived for five decades, has already raised a son, and has habits far more embedded in her persona than I do at my 26 years. I thank myself for using my life wisely and for always striving to remain healthy and dedicated. But I also take heart in knowing that no matter how many times I fall off the wagon and put on a few pounds - I always have another day to try again and it's never too late to make a change.
