This past weekend I told my husband I really need to lose some weight. I told him my hips had been acting up and so I needed to take the weight off.

So last night I'm in the kitchen and my son had made No bake cookies. First time he's made them and i wanted to try one. So when i went to get one my husband said DON"T EAT THAT! I'm like why? he's like you'll make your hips worse!!

I got to laughing and didn't eat it. That was a smooth move on his part one of the many reasons I love him!

Can I do this?

I've been trying for 17 years to lose this weight. I so far have failed. But I'm not ever going to stop trying. I need people motivating and supporting me. You see I tend to be a problem for myself. Every time I start losing weight, and someone notices I tend to gain it all back. It's like "tell me I look good and I'll prove you wrong" It's twisted!

The time has come to step up and be accountable to myself. Isn't that how it should work? Shouldn't I be holding myself responsible? It's time to stop being lazy and making excuses. I need this for myself.

So, Can I do this? Yes, but will I? I'm going to try and I'm going to pray alot along the way. If you want to step on board and help me out. Please do. I'll try and return the favor.
