Diet won’t do it alone. Sure, you have to watch what you eat but diet combined with exercise and then you will lose weight. When I went to high school, we had gym every day. No wonder the youth are often overweight. They might get gym once a week and our nation decries how obesity is a problem for our youth and tries to control it by limiting what the youth can eat in the their (???) cafeterias. It is a losing battle. You just have to get more exercise. Go back to having gym every day five times a week in high school and I guarantee obesity will be less a problem.

My twenty year old daughter observed, “You are not too old for you can still play basketball.” Basketball is a game I have loved all my life. There still is something esthetically pleasing to me about being able to shoot a basketball through the hoop. If I can do it without touching the rim, it is even better.
I am sixty-one and not foolhardy enough to play a running game with the youth. I am afraid to play with the abandon I used to in my youth. I still find my daughter’s observation interesting.
I have loved basketball as far back as I can remember. I was only a mediocre player but still loved playing. I made up for my lack of talent with tenaciousness on the court. I was not afraid of playing against anyone, any size. Those days are over but I still enjoy shooting basketballs and see no reason to stop.
I can still use the sport to get back my wind and do that by shooting from different corners of the court and increasing the tempo gradually. All I need is a basketball and some warmer weather. I had forgotten how much I still love the game. My daughter reminded me of that. God bless her for that.
