If
you've had these or similar thoughts, you're not alone.
Robin McGraw, wife of television talk show host Dr. Phil
McGraw, receives thousands of emails from women asking her
what she does to look and feel so vibrant, energetic and
healthy at the age of 55. It all started back in Robin's
twenties and thirties when pivotal moments in her life made
her realize that if she did not put her health and
well-being first, no one else would. One such moment came in
her early thirties when Robin experienced the sudden death
of her mother, a wonderful woman who put the needs of her
family above her own and, as a result, didn't know that her
health was ailing. This tragedy made Robin realize that in
order to be the best wife, mother and woman possible, she
had to take care of herself as if her life depended on it.
In What's Age Got To Do With It, Robin urges
you to do the same and shows you that it's not selfish to
take care of yourself. Robin says, "I wrote this book, not
only to answer questions about what I do to stay healthy and
in shape, but to remind women that it's time to move
yourself to the top of your list of priorities. If
you can't do it for you, then do it for your family.
Because my precious mother never did that, she missed out on
so many wonderful years and experiences. I realized that it
doesn't make you a better wife or parent if you're
sacrificing everything -including your health, soul and
spirit -for your family. I refuse to perpetuate that legacy
and I want you to join me and get excited about living your
life in a passionate, happy and healthy way. It's never too
early to start taking care of yourself, but it's also never,
ever too late."
