Being at our best as we mature should not be based on striving to meet an impossible ideal. Very few of us will be able to maintain the same dress size we wore in our 20's. So, instead for striving for the impossible we should aim to be healthy.

So far this has worked well for me. I found a no nonsense gym that gives me an intense workout and made some modifications to my diet. Instead of rice, I now eat bulgur wheat - a natural whole grain rich in fiber,
vitamins and minerals. It tastes great and goes well with all my African soups and sauces.
I refuse to eliminate chocolate :)
I also refuse to eliminate chocolate! I just had to change my tastebuds by eating more dark chocolate :)
