PSA for the older folks - your kids care

I recently had my re-birthday and posted over at /r/progresspics . It went over very well, there were a lot of congratulatory comments, but more important there were some "you inspired me to try in my older age" comments, which means if even one person successfully get motivated it was more than worth it.

However, there were also more than a couple comments from people who wished their parents (generally dads, as I'm male) would/could follow suit.

So... old dudes. If you've been on the fence about starting weight loss/getting healthy, consider giving your kids a Father's Day gift this year by trying. Yeah, it's supposed to be about you on FD, but how cool would it be to turn the tables on them? It's harder when you're older, but not impossible and never too late. Plus, there was a recent study that indicated people who got fit later in life share the same benefits as people who have been healthy their whole lives, it's one of the few chances you have in life to wipe the slate completely clear of previous bad decision.

I say this as a childless-by-choice old dude, so take it FWIW.
