history: i have lost a few pounds, i can walk around with that shirt that fits me now I have tried long and hard to lose a few pounds and i finally did_comma_ now i can wear that shirt that i use to wear and it fits me now. yayy Losing weight is the best feeling. I did that a couple of summers ago.. It's one of those few things where you can visibly see yourself getting better_comma_ and there's not much that gives you as much pride as that. Congratulations!
current: Thank you, i am getting older so living a healthy lifestyle is also in my best interest.
next: I was proud of my mom when she started focusing more on her weight, too, just because of what you said--she's getting older. I wish she could live to 150, so anything that helps her live longer, makes me really happy. Good for you for making that choice sooner rather than later.
