How often have we heard this saying?  Perhaps you may even use this expression about someone you know quite well.

Now that I have you thinking of this saying, can you tell me if there is any truth to it?

I can remember high school like it was yesterday despite the fact that it was ten years ago.  I spent one whole hour a day doing my hair and make up.  Not too much has changed in ten years.  Oh sure, the hair is now in a pony tail and my face is make up free but I still spend one whole hour a day on myself, only it's to work out.

Exercise machines from A-Z that promise to fix every flaw imaginable.  With a lot of hard work, even more determination and excruciating pain to your poor muscles, you might get to the half way mark of looking like that supermodel you envy.

For meals, you can go to the handy dandy grocery store and buy these in a can.  They are made so you don't even have to add any ingredients to them anymore.  You just pop the lid and it's ready to serve.

If the actual eating process is what appeals to you there is always the ever faithful nutri-bars that are just as healthy as the meals in a can, filling you up for a full half hour.

If these courses of action fail, do not fret.  The next best solution is just around the corner.  Any store that sells magazines can guide you. If you look through the advertisements in your magazine, you should see the ad for the "magic doctor" who can fix all of your flaws with a snip and a tuck.  This process can be quite expensive and they rarely tell you the "fine print".  After the snip and tuck, exercise is needed to maintain your new look.

As you are finishing reading this, I would ask that you go help yourself to a second helping of supper or maybe even enjoy a chocolate bar.  Growing old is inevitable.  Growing old gracefully to me means, have fun and enjoy yourself.
