Sonja in Tombstone, AZ, with gunfighters Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp and Morgan Earp

In the new blockbuster video game, Red Dead Redemption,  (PS3 or Xbox 360) ex-outlaw and gunfighter John Marston sometimes makes mistakes and a bounty gets placed on his head; however, he is always given another chance to redeem himself, and start over again.

It reminded me of all the diets I had ever been on in the past, then gained weight back, and had to start over again.  Thank goodness I always kept trying, didn’t give up, then finally figured out how to “live thin,” and have now have maintained a 50-pound weight loss since 2001.

Recently, I visited Tombstone, Ariz., with my 17-year-old son, Mackie.  There I rubbed elbows with gunfighters of the Old West, Wyatt and Morgan Earp, who re-enacted the shootout at the OK Corral with Doc Holliday.  These characters inspired me to keep up the fight, and remember that “living the thin lifestyle” is always worth it.
