I commit to...

I have made a committment to myself to make things better for my family....to lose weight so that I can be around for them and to reduce and eventually eliminate debt so that we will not have to worry about that in retirement.  I have been working on the weight loss since July of this year and have lost almost 40 pounds.  In my estimation, debt reduction is like weight loss, keeping track of where money goes is like tracking what I eat every day.  I have a limited number amount of food each day, just like I have a limited amount I spend.  I figure that, by using my skills from my weight loss journey and applying them to debt reduction I will be able to one day reach my goals and, by putting them down, it makes it permanent and commits me to following through.
