[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say, I'm a size 12 at age 50 and after 2 kids, and this has been a kick in the butt to get back into an exercise routine.

That said, nobody believes me when I tell them what I weigh.  Not even the nurse who weighed me recently and said, "well, that's a surprise!"  But I know what I look like in a bathing suit, and while it's not awful, it's not perfect either.

I'll say again, this thread is a kick in the but.  However, sometimes I think maybe we're too obsessed with physical perfection in this country, to the exclusion of other things.  There are tradeoffs when you work and have kids, and maybe you can't have it all.  I'd much rather spend time with my kids or read novels than work out 7 days a week to solve what isn't exactly a physical crisis.  But yeah, more exercise is probably good for me in more ways than just weight loss.[/quote]

Yeah, I agree with this. I was sort of kicking myself in the butt a little already, but now I definitely feel like even if I don't perceive myself as "fat", maybe other people do, and I really don't want that. And I don't want to have to buy new clothes because I don't fit into my old ones. Or, if I do buy new clothes, because I actually feel like trying to look cute, I don't want to have to buy them in a bigger size. [/quote]
