i had to make some lifestyle changes in order to raise the floor of my mental health, improve my self-image, and make the transition into middle age easier. i'm in the mid-south aka the stroke belt so i see a lot of very unhealthy people (obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure) and i do NOT want to be like them at all. getting older is hard enough just from a mental standpoint. i don't need additional anxiety about aging from being physically unhealthy
