When the book arrived, I dove right in, curious to see if Tosca would have the answer to my never-ending quest to lose weight (10 extra pounds that I swear have been with me since high school). I read the book cover to cover, and when I was done, I was overwhelmed with emotion. Here seemed to lie the answer that I’d been looking for: how to feed my body and not starve (I’ll never throw out my low-cut jeans in favor of “mom jeans”). A few days later, I called Tosca to tell her how much I loved the book, and we quickly bonded over our shared passion for clean eating and fitness. We agreed that being “middle-aged” carries a lot of negative stereotypes—too many baby boomers throw in the towel, mistakenly assuming that the best years of their lives are over. But the fact is that these years can be the very best ones of your life. Tosca is proof positive of this fact—she transformed her body and her life when she turned forty. During one of our many subsequent chats, I told Tosca she should write a book for us women over forty that addressed the fitness, nutrition and well-being challenges that we face as we get older. Now that I was in my early fifties, many of the rules and strategies that had worked for me in my thirties and forties no longer applied. I wanted a new program that would work for me now. In Your Best Body Now, Tosca offers concrete, easy-to-follow guidelines that actually make a difference. This book is not about hype. It’s about substance. And most important, it acknowledges that we’re always changing. It offers clear action plans for every decade of life. Tosca and I agree that it’s important to focus on the present and not on the past. It’s never too late to become a better you. Enjoy the journey, and always remember to be who you are. —Bobbi Brown CEO and founder of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics PART 1 The Road to a Fabulous New You—At Any Age Chapter 1 My Journey Chapter 2 Champion a “New You” Chapter 3 Jump-Start Your Best Body Now! 1 My Journey: How I Created My Best Body Now LOOKING AT ME, YOU MIGHT THINK, “IT’S EASY FOR TOSCA TO talk about eating well or exercising more. Look at how fit she is.” The truth is, I look and feel healthy because every day I make the conscious choice to look and feel this way. I live better than ever before at fifty because I made the mental shift ten years ago to finally treat myself with confidence, respect and the same amount of love, forgiveness and dedication I’ve given to my family. I wasn’t born a swimsuit model. I didn’t take a magic pill or win the “great body” lottery. I struggled with my weight, energy levels and self-esteem like many of you. It wasn’t until I hit my personal rock bottom that I embraced a new way of living. Step by step I changed my habits, from what I ate to how often I exercised to my inner dialogue about being good enough, thin enough and young enough. I wasn’t born a swimsuit model. I didn’t take a magic pill or win the “great body” lottery. Many of you have asked how I’ve done it—transformed myself head to toe, both internally and externally, at forty. I’ve packaged my insights and strategies into Your Best Body Now so that you learn not only that there’s another way to live but also that it is possible for you to experience it— beginning now. Your Best Body Now was created to share with you in detail how I made my total-body transformation and what I do on a daily basis to stick with my goals to live better and healthier. The results of my very simple, commonsense program have given me not just a healthier relationship with food but also a more beautiful body, stronger self-esteem, newfound energy and a sexiness that comes from truly knowing who you are. (The fact that I look ten years younger is also a bonus!) The specifics of this program, the Best Body Now transformation, include a decade-by-decade look at how our bodies evolve in our thirties, forties, fifties and beyond, plus tailored guidelines to age-proof your body through nutrition, exercise, health, beauty and motivation. I’ll offer real-life tips, tricks and tools—personally test-driven by me over the past decade—for overcoming challenges, banishing unhealthy habits and arming yourself with the know-how and inspiration you need to reach your goals. My dream is that my program (and my personal success with it!) serves as a reality check for those of you who believe that your best years are
