Fearless Aging
Staying Fit and Beautiful in Your 50s and Beyond
By Teri Brown
In addition, Moran felt her identity as a woman shift drastically. She realized that men looked at her differently and many young people of both sexes seemed to look right through her.
"It was as if I'd disappeared," says Moran. "The guy or gal behind the counter would look right through me and take the order of the person behind me. This happened time and again, and women my age all tell me this has happened to them as well."
Moran had always taken care of herself physically and wasn't going to take this sitting down. She knew that gravity and hormones weren't the whole story on aging and she figured that how people thought and how they treated themselves had an impact as well.
"I decided to believe that I could get younger and act on that belief," says Moran. "I learned everything I could. I started reminding myself that I was growing younger and taking action in terms of my diet, exercise, rest and sleep, nutritional supplements, personal care and mental attitude. By 51 I was better. By 52 I was lots better. By 52 1/2, I was ready to write about it. And now, turning 55, I'm ready to tell the world."
In a way, Moran's other books have prepared her for Younger by the Day. The young girl who wanted to meet the Beatles has learned to live life thoughtfully and with purpose and felt compelled to tell others of her findings.
Her other titles include Fit From Within: 101 Simple Secrets to Change Your Body and Your Life – Starting Today and Lasting Forever (McGraw-Hill, 2002), which incorporates everything she knows about getting free from food troubles; Lit From Within: Tending Your Soul for Lifelong Beauty (Harper, 2001), about discovering and bringing out your inner beauty; Shelter for the Spirit: Create Your Own Haven in a Hectic World (Perennial, 1998), which grew out of her experience as a single mom trying to create a nurturing home for her daughter and herself; and Creating a Charmed Life, a book filled with the wisdom of living authentically.
