Thanks Amy, but I'm no hero! And I hate doing laundry as much as I hate doing dishes every blessed day and night, or shopping for groceries,...or excercise. (I'm pretty sure I was born to be a thin beautiful princess, but there was a terrible mistake made somewhere along the line. But That's ok. I'm a beautiful princess on the inside.)
I DO love to sit and watch the Discovery Channel, or Home and Garden TV, but don't have the time. And what better opportunity than when folding clothes? I forget all about it being laundry day, and then it's all about a little much needed quality time with my tv.
It's all in how you look at it. And that's what works for me. Now if I could just find a way to look at the excercise thing. I know what you mean about excercise. I haven't found any excercise I actually enjoy. So, I walked for quite a while, with no results. Then the uncle had his stroke. So there went my free time. Even if I could find a way to make the time to do it now, I'm not sure I would. (I keep telling myself I would, but I think I'm lying to me.) Unless I found something that I truly enjoyed...which hasn't happend yet.
You keep forging ahead with your battle. Little by little, if we stay focused (which isn't easy) and determined, (which is harder still) we will get there. Don't give up. Don't give in. Show all the skeptics, and yourself, and the world around you, your inner strength. (Even if you don't have determination, or inner strength, pretend you do. Eventually it will become a habit, and you'll have some for real.) Inch by inch, we'll get there. You'll see. Inch by inch.
