Fat Loss Yin:
I exist, stranded in my own body,
happy for others, but not for myself.
Within me, I know there is greatness,
a power so strong nothing can stand in my way.
I deserve more, but I’ve learned to give up;
for facing life’s greatest challenges requires more endurance.
I used to endure, but this brought me great sadness.
A part of me wants to give up, but my heart says no.
If only life were fair, this would be so much easier —
I can’t help but realize they have it so much better than I do.
Even if I did have the willpower, my family needs me at home,
and the bills to pay are a reality in my life…
Fat Loss Yang:
I exist, full of energy, and the will go to war for myself.
I inspire others to be happier, but I do this for myself.
I made ONE decision, and everything changed,
a power so strong nothing can stand in my way.
I deserve my new body, and I’m proud to stand tall;
for in my presence, there is greatness, and I will go on.
I used to endure, but now I just focus on happiness.
A part of me knew if I spent my life smiling, it would change…
I’m a better lover, father, son, brother, and uncle than I’ve ever been.

i believe it, but the older i get the harder it becomes to be positive.

Stuart…. Your comment made me sad to read…… Use your age as a positive thing as to knowing that you are old enough to know not to make the same mistakes twice or to do anything again that makes you fell in a non positive way…. I wake up and go to bed everyday in pain…some days more than others but it’s still there …. Not to ” toot my own horn” but I see so much that makes me feel good or positive. It all starts inside…… It’s how you allow yourself how to feel.

hi cher6505, i am mid fifties and still doing a physical job, mechanic , welder, foundry maintenance, i too wake up in pain , i do my stretches , i eat turmeric and fish oil , krill oil, glucosamine, i eat no grains etc. etc.i have just started to get the lumps forming in my fingers, like i said , i am a believer , but getting old is no fun at all.
and i can honestly say that there are a lot of young blokes that tire before i do, i am a great believer in “use it or lose it”
thanks for your comment though , it was very nice of you.-
Please don’t give up but keep going. You must be doing something right to do the kinds of jobs you do. Most people in their 50’s on down can’t even begin doing those things without withering away in pai and even doing a desk job does them in. Also its been proven that sitting is the worst thing you can do. No longer than an hour at a time and you need to get up. Not very practical for holding a desk job. It sounds like you have rutmatoid arthritis which is a heavy duty type of dear old arthur. When I.feel mine I make that little joke to myself. Makes me fee better.
. Keep checking out medical alternative articles in book artlcles and internet. Plus friends and work partners may run across info that can be helpful. I’m. Sure you know some of this but just wanted to encourage you.

Please don’t get sad. The ageis just a number. just today I talked to my friend about our parents and all it is with age is: be curious, be involved, be interested.. we have our parent in 70th and 75th.. Such a huge difference between some of them. It all is attitude…
