Life in Pieces

I was going through my 'blog' list of the ones I read every day and Lyn over at Escape from Obesity has an AMAZING blog today:

Everything is SO true and applies to my life as well. My weight got out of control I was the heaviest I've ever been, my finances are a muck, my house got really messy, I was stressed and all I wanted to do was eat and eat and eat! So I decided when I moved to our new house it would be a 'NEW START' for me. Well actually a few weeks before...when I stepped on the dreaded scale after a few months hiatus from it. I seriously CRIED when I saw 250# It was then and there that I decided If things were going to change it was up to me. No one else can lose the weight for me. No one else can exercise for me (wouldn't that be nice ;-). I think I am doing pretty good although this past week has been upsetting. Dunno why, just really hungry and picky and not eating good portions....and it shows on my scale.

Thank you Lyn for your awesome post! You totally made my day! It really makes you think! I know if one of those things (house, diet, exercise, finances) is out of whack the rest just sort of follows suit or so it seems!
