Whether it is due to the passing of teenage metabolism, pregnancy, a new decade (30's, 40's, 50's...), shift work, or hormonal changes (menopause)... Bodies change.
You have two options:
1) lament and do nothing
or
2) celebrate, move forward and change with your body
If you choose the former, you will become increasingly miserable. You will without a doubt pull away from activities, increase your negative self-talk, and get swallowed up in self pity. If you choose to celebrate, (perhaps a lofty ideal at the onset), you will reap the rewards of acceptance and self love. Don't get me wrong, you will still long for the days when you ate deep dish pizza and chocolate without tipping the scales, but you will have a healthy mindset that your present situation will one day be a point in time that you think back to fondly. Sooo...take advantage of the now....you are still in control and it is a wonderful place to be.
Take advantage of tips and tricks to give you the advantage you had yesterday. The older you get, the more toxins you have ingested, the more injuries you have acquired, the more sleep you have forgone. All of these will negatively impact you and your body.
We have yet to discover time travel so going back to age 17 is out of the question, BUT slowing down the ageing process IS possible. Similar to time travel that magic pill advertised for fat loss is also a pipe dream. BUT, there IS a way. It is not an overnight miracle, but it is quite simple and real:
Eat well. This means eliminating sugars, increasing water intake, decreasing alcohol consumption and avoiding GMO everything.
Get moving. This means, getting up off of the couch/office chair and pumping blood through your body with exercise (increased movement).
Rest. This means going to bed when you're tired.
Your body is still your body. You are responsible for the wear and tear so be proud of it. It will change and it is only reasonable to expect how you treat it will change too.
Stay happy & healthy
