That is what the scale said. I could not believe it! It did not seem like I had gained 40 lbs over the last 6 months but this was not one of those inaccurate flat scales, this was one of those completely accurate doctors office scales. Wow! I have all kinds of excuses, I have to much work, to many kids activities, I’m tired. None of them resounded as rational. Bottom line, I lack self control with food and I put most everything else above my health. I stared at the scale for a long time in disbelief. All the excuses came rushing into my head. But, not today. I am going to the gym. Since today is the first day of the rest of my life, I best get started, I have got a long way to go.
