Cute. Commitment - the magic diet pill? I like it. I like a few of these other words too:

Devotion.
Dedication.
Perseverance.
Passion.

Ubergirl - that's one great lesson learned for you!

Yes, YES, YES!

Perseverance is the key in my humble opinion. Motivation fades, commitments are often broken, but if you have perseverance, you've got it made. I remember last school year, early in the fall, my son, (then 4th grade) had the word perseverance as a spelling word. I asked him if he knew what it meant and he said, "YES!, it means stick to it-ness"

ahhh, perseverance!

That's a smart kid you have there, Lori Bell. I am adding both commitment and perseverance to my dieting dictionary. Thanks for another great thread!
