I've been on a journey studying for my MBA (while also working Full Time). I'm almost at the end of the 18 month effort (its accellerated). Its a challenge with a 5 year old around and no family in the area. My wife and I keep busy. Today is Sunday, and through a combination of procrastination, and just general timing - today is the day I hunker down and get at my homework. It ranges for 3-6 hours typically.
How does this relate to weight loss? Well, its just a reminder that to achieve great things takes hard work and dedication. 14 months ago when I started on my MBA, I knew the journey was going to be difficult, but I sucked it up and did it anyways. Good things lie ahead I'm sure. All of us here on DietBet have made similiar goals for ourselves. I think just as my wife and I have agreed on the importance of my MBA, and her support to give me the freedom to do the work to get it done, I think we also need to have our partners support us in our journey to weight loss and health. Its going to be a much harder road to travel if your partner isn't supportive.
I hope all of you have the support of your family, and are keeping focused on the long term success! Good luck and keep going!
