Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, was what it all came to for me. When I thought of dieting I simply procrastinated. I knew I was not too big, or too lazy, just simply removed. Removed because if I tried to focus on eating healthier, I would simply remove me out of the equation.

It was funny to see that my life had evolved into someone else's life. I was a high school small, petite, young lady. Now I stood in front of a mirror, wondering if I needed glasses or what person was it in front of me. I always claimed to have a great weight, and a great body. I felt like a model in my earlier years. No, not a glamorous one, a spoke model for what not to do. I constantly did not stop and take time to eat properly. I thought lunch meant, mountain dew and a candy bar. Man, if I only knew then what I have so hard found out.

Weight can be carried on some like a spring jacket, but on some it looks like a wool coat. It can add dimension and shapes you never knew existed. It can make a perfect size, turn into a nightmarish transformation. Weight gives us lots of things, it can give us support. Support where we rather it did not, like support hoses, to help with the pressure our tired legs feel at the end of a day. Or maybe the weight watchers we attended last night. Get it? Good.

Mirrors are no longer necessary, they are avoided. They remind us of what we do not want to look like. They can make small people seem "smaller", and tall people seem odd. When carrying around extra ounds we not only loose the will to have a mirror, but we loose the reason why we ever got one to begin with.

Losing weight, what a task it is. It almost is worse than going to the dentist. At least at the dentist we get those problems removed under anesthesia, but in the weight loss "office" we get discouragement at times, and we cannot get relief from our embarrassment until we loose the weight.

Weight loss is so over rated. It is not necessary to be happy. It is not necessary to accomplish things, but imagine weight loss, for yourself, and you get happiness and accomplishment in one. Funny how you are told this diet aide will work and this one requires no effort except taking the pill, or aide, but you must have real effort, to get real results, not a pill.

I am going to make every effort to loose weight for me, for my life and for my loved ones. I could not rest if they were left to run the house, by themselves, it would fall apart. They need me. I could not possibly trust anyone else to do it, now could I?

I love my life, love my family and love eating, out, really. I enjoy going to the latest restaraunt and having someone serve me. Serve me a dose of fat thighs and fat stomach and clotted arteries, really. I think eating out is our own prescription for failure.

Best of luck to anyone who can make a plan and stick to it. I made a plan to get my drivers license and I accomplished that. Seriously, I hope anyone and everyone who needs or wants to loose weight can and does. God bless,(somebody needs to).
