I hope I can approach retirement with the same enthusiasm and zest for life as you and get as much out of it.<br />I too have been working with Beyond Chocolate for a couple of years now and my weight has been stable too - a great relief after 25 years of dieting hell and failure.Gretelhttp://www.beyondchocolate.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510462680189297110.post-39406122261794993772010-08-12T11:19:16.972+01:002010-08-12T11:19:16.972+01:00I've just had an interesting question from my ...I've just had an interesting question from my mother. She said, "But what are you intending to do all day?" You see I have just retired, yes, I'm 60, one of the lucky ones who can retire at 60 (she is 93!) and she cannot believe that I, at last, can just BE. I lead a walking group every week, do Tai Chi and circle dancing deliver the village magazine, have taken up gardening and lunching with friends. I am gradually redecorating the house and, generally, having a ball. You may think this is nothing to do with Beyond Chocolate but it very much is. I have been following the BC principles for 4 years,ever since I read the book, and have maintained the same weight for all that time after yoyo dieting for 40 years. This is a major achievement and I wondered why it had taken me so long and been such a struggle to get there. Then my mother asked the quetion and I realised that I too had measured success in projects and perfection because every waking moment had to be purposeful according to some exterior arbitration. Well no more! Thank you BC for opening my eyes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
