I am fat!
It's funny how when you are young, you can't understand why older folks are fat. Now I know. I have a million and one excuses for being fat too. I can't exercise in a trailer during the week, it's hard to eat right when I am not at home, food is my comfort and I have had some rough times the past seven or eight years. It's just natural to gain weight as one gets older. The old metabolism slows way down.
I know how to lose weight. I know I should lose weight. I know I would feel better if I weighed less. I know I have a greater chance of getting cancer or some other disease by being fat. I know, I know, I know.
So why don't I lose weight. Well, mainly because I am not committed to lose weight. It's because I am not disciplined enough in that area right now to lose weight. I purposely did not set any New Year's resolutions to lose weight because I am the kind of person that won't do something because someone else is. And everyone says they will lose weight for the new year.
I know that I need to be committed to do the work of losing weight instead of committed to the goal. Goals are very helpful, and writing them down is even more helpful. But I know that once you set a goal, it should be broken down into actionable steps, and then make a commitment to take those steps, to DO those things. Goals don’t accomplish anything, it’s all in the work.
Question is......will I do the work? Stay tuned. We'll see.

WOW!!
I looked at this on cause you told me to check it out,, and this is actually really good!! The fact that you wont do something because someone else is is awesome, and for real cool. It makes you a leader, and not a follower. If you would really like to lose weight, id be glad to join the gym with you, cause i should probably start workin out too?!
