Don't be scare.. Do something about it

I was going to go back to 2006 and bring it up to 2008. I wanted to do it as a reflection piece and I still may do it because I had some good ,bad and ugly in 2007. Overall, it was not a bad year.

My partner Charles said someything yesterday that struck a nerve in me. Now Charles is a no nonsense kind of guy and for him to say this would be typical Charles. But what about the truth?

He says" People are so fickle this time of the year. They make promises that they know they will not keep. So why make them? All the Vitamin stores and gym memberships are skyrocketing right now because they know they can capitalize on the human spirit. It makes me sick to see the commercials and advertisments in newspapers but rarely to you hear someone say that I'm going to read to my child at least once or twice a day. Or I'm going to volunteer my time this year to a non-profit organization. This time of the year is so phony and it all starts just before Christmas".

Now I have to agree with most if not all of what he said. I vowed to lose some weight years ago and I'm still 270 lbs. Yeah!! Iknow I need to do it because of health and energy issues. What I'm I scared of. I'll tell ya... FAILURE. I have cashed out before I got in. I have decided to not be cruel to myself and make that promise. However, I'm going to try to lose some weight this year.
