if you don't want to invest time in yourself, all you could be left with is a crumbling ruin

Yes its a harsh comment but it's true.  Many humans expect to have great health a wonderful life and everything on a platter, with little or no effort.  The reality is that rarely happens.  If you want to be fit and healthy you need to put the work in.  If you keep stuffing your face with sweets and carbs and bingeing on caffeinated drinks, copious amounts of alcohol and lord knows what else… you are tinkering with your health and possibly beckoning an early grave.   

You don't have to turn into a vegan trail blazer, if you don't want to.  Personally I could live without chocolate... it doesn't bother me.  However, cupcakes are different.  Lets just say I like tea and cake and I would rather not have to live without it.  That said… in the evenings I don't pretend I'm taking part in an olympic, cake eating competition…ya get me.  Everything in moderation, is an easy rule for me to stick to.  I think we are all a little vain and I am no exception.  I would rather look cool with my skinny jeans on then look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow man from Ghostbusters.  For me nothing tastes as good as looking & feeling fit and healthy.  Changing bad eating habits doesn't happen overnight, it takes time, but boy! when it happens you really do reap the benefits.  I'm enjoying life and doing what I can to be one of this old people who wear silly hats & climb rocks.  Who are you looking forward to being?
