First and far most my daughter and her needs some first... but I can get off the bus a little early and walk home and get that 30 minutes of exercise in... you know what I mean. I've been going way over my points over and over and I keep blaming stress when I'm the one putting the food in my mouth... I haven't even made an effort to try and do something else when I'm tempted. I'm not aiming for flawless weight loss like he is able to do... but I need to stop letting the excuses get the best of me.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679080153484616582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20803640.post-57587784380413272692009-03-21T08:29:00.000-07:002009-03-21T08:29:00.000-07:00Incidentally, Tony has no children, let alone the ...Incidentally, Tony has no children, let alone the role in life of a single parent, homeschooloing parent, parent of a special needs child, parents who are aging and require special care or anything else. Tony has a job, the gym and a number under his belt. Real life does not work that way. How well would it fly if you said to the issues your daughter is facing "nope, can't do this. Gotta get to the gym for an hour ". If you encounter the authorities( school, legal or medical) as a result of NOT helping your daughter, how well do you think the excuse "I could not do anything because I have to spend an hour in the gym everyday so that the scale reads a specific number" would fly? When all is said and done, are me people with many talents, responsibilities and joys or numbers on a scale ? And does that number on the scale make us intelligent, successful contributing compassionate people ?Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694756762570280051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20803640.post-33514153318997098402009-03-20T22:44:00.000-07:002009-03-20T22:44:00.000-07:00What a great post!

I love the idea of giving away excuses, though! I'm giving away my excuse of "Johnny needs me around" and trading it in for, well, "Johnny needs me around!" I can workout and still be around him during the afternoon/evening while he watches his cartoons or plays ... so I can BE around when he's older! :)karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140525208481352659noreply@blogger.com
