59. Congrats X2

I am only in my early 40's and have not had a visit to the doctor in some time. I am the type where I really need to have something wrong to make an appt - sometimes not even then. I am with you 100% that with the knowledge I now have, I would not change my diet based on comments from anyone. The plan I have established for myself is very satisfying and sustainable and with all of the emerging results of such a diet, I have no question that this is the right decision for my health. I suspect that I will visit the doctor sometime in the near future just to see how everything is going. Fortunately, my lifestyle change was not driven by a need to do so, but of my own free will.

Even if I choose to have some "less than desirable" treats every now and then, I do not punish myself for eating something "bad", I enjoy every last tasty morsel and then just get right back on track with the next meal. For me, it is really just that easy now.

Having gained control of this aspect of my life has been very liberating (I guess that is the right word to use) and has lifted an enormous burden from my shoulders - not to mention my waist line. The only negative side effect thus far has been a slightly lighter wallet having to replace my old wardrobe. Over the last year I have donated 6-7 overflowing totes of clothes to goodwill and some of those items still had the store tags on them.
