Excuses are like ________.

One of my pet peeves is when I offer advice or suggestions to people (one in particular comes to mind, but I shall not reveal their name) and each suggestion is met with resistance and a "reason" why this or that won't work. Yeah, well, I woke up this morning contemplating this whole weight loss situation and realized I was just like this unnamed person - making excuses like no other! It was like a slap in the face...and who likes waking up to that!?

I've been so snide at others success. Snide in that I'm just jealous. But why should I be? I mean they (again, one particular person comes to mind...different from the first person) have worked their tail off getting to where they are. Why shouldn't I be happy for them? I'm jealous because they kept on going and I basically gave up on myself. I got too comfortable, fear took over maybe, and laziness set in.

I would love to kick laziness right out the door and invite determination back in. I'm tired of making excuses. I'm tired of letting my emotions rule the roost all the time. I'm tired of feeling undeserving and unimportant. I'm tired of being tired.

So, it's time to do a little house cleaning. (Both figurative and literal - ha.) But I also need a cheering section. I realize some people don't, but I'm not one of them. Can I count on you to help cheer me along...again? Help push along, remind me that I am worthy of this.
