AA says "Admit it"

Ok, ok. There is this famous twelve step program. Its first step starts out by simply admitting you are wrong. That something is amiss. That you simply just, well, suck at life. Well, at least something in life. We all hide it. We all want to look better than we are. It is as though all people go around with the hope that everybody else will think they are perfect. Whatever!! We all have our faults, but all of us have a hard time admitting it. It happened to me once. Ok, many times, but finally, about the age of 19 and a half, it hit me. I could change. I did. Then I didn't. But now, it is time to admit it once more.

Starting in November I am asking for a little bit of help from family. As the holiday season begins, I wish to keep of any unwanted poundage and take off some that I have gained. Ok, a lot that I have gained. So this is how I am going to do it, with your help.

I will have an additional blog, one that will be my weight loss blog so as not to add a personal mess to this blog. I will expect some of those that return again and again to this blog to check it out occasionally and help motivate, inspire, and assist in my losing 100 pounds. This will not be an easy task, but I am asking family to keep on me to ensure that I am working on it. It seems like no matter how hard I seem to try, I can't do it. But if others know of my goal and what I am trying to accomplish, they will be to me. (Just as an FYI, Tiffany has tried to motivate me, but she fears she will be a nag, and no wife wants to be a nag!)

With that said, come November 1st, I expect to hear somebody tell me that I need to work harder, eat less, and exercise more and ask reports back.

Thank you for your help.
