A note for those trying to lose weight

I put on a lot of weight since hmm 2006? I blame it on:

1) I had just started a new relationship in late 2005 so I blame the relationship fat.

Also 2) since I never had the freshman 15, the "slowage" of metabolism caught up with me at the age of 22.

And 3) working - instead of running up and down the hills of San Diego State with 4 inch accounting books on my back, I started working behind a desk with VERY MINIMAL movement.

So I have a cousin who is 10 years older (she's now 35) who managed to lose her weight. She is looking her best! She even looks better than when she was 28 or 25 or 21 or 16 - seriously! And all the excuses I have above are pretty much inexcusable as 1) she's married so relationship fat is no excuse 2) she is 10 years older so I can't blame the metabolism "slowage" 3) like me, she works behind a desk and most of all she has a # 4) she's had THREE kids! And she STILL managed to lose her weight.

Conclusion: Throw away your excuses! Lose your weight for the new year!
