QOTW! If U Knew Then What U Know Now

If you could go back to the age of 8, but know everything that you know now about weight loss/dieting/health, what would you do differently?

After I moved out on my own I just continued eating that way. Gee, how well that's turned out :P

I'd have kept playing outside :)

Along with that, I probably would have tried to be less-nerdy. Since I grew up in a neighborhood with no kids, I was used to acting like an adult (Picture a fat boy in fifth grade talking about Iran-Contra, or the reasons the US invaded Panama). I would have definitely talked to girls more (but not about Iran-Contra).

I didnt have the problem REALLY till I was an adult...but I would make some sort of sport a regular in my life . Through highschool I played softball and volleyball and cheer but I didnt stay on top of it when I "grew up" and I am wonderign now if I need to be EXTREMELY active to maintain a "normal" figure ???
well hell that just stinks cause can you imagine a 280 pound chicka running to third...I dont think so . grrrrr
Hi there Rely!

I'm a thin person now because of that, but if I began that as a child, I would not feel as though I've wasted away ten years of my life. When I was obese, I felt as though I was in hiding. Funny as it was, I wasn't even comfortable with myself in the privacy of my own home. Anyway, I'm rambling.
Once again, great question!
I've actually been thinking about this a lot. Personally, my weight loss journey has been a huge journey into myself. I never had a bad self esteem when I was at my heaviest, but I also thought I could never put in the time and effort to lose the weight either. I thought I'd get bored and get off track. Losing weight is the best thing I have ever done for myself, even above quitting smoking (because that really wasn't that hard for me at all). So, honestly...I'm glad I went through this journey. It was the toughest change, but the most rewarding change I've ever done, and it showed me that I am capable of doing anything I put my mind to. ;) .
