Speaking as someone who's been where you are, you may have woken up before 40, but don't for a second think that you've figured things out, or that you've solved anything. It's going to be a fight, it may take longer than you think, and you aren't going to be done when you get your weight where you want it to be. This is something you're going to have be responsible about for a long time, at least until the changes you've made are ingrained enough into you that they take over "normal" from what you had been doing the other 30-odd years of your life. Change is not an easy thing. So be careful not to let yourself get complacent, or to get too comfortable with the thought that you've got all the answers now. Just keep fighting the good fight.

No offense taken at all.
It's already habit. I don't feel right if I don't go to the gym. I no longer crave what I used to. If I do, I save it for my cheat meal. By no means have I got everything figured out, but I'm having so much fun discovering myself. Sometimes, this new found confidence comes across as over-confidence, or maybe you all just aren't used to it yet (you really should get used to it, though). What I'm doing now is my new normal. I'm not "dieting". This is how I eat now. I don't drag myself to the gym. I have a million and thirty reasons for going to the gym on any given day.
