Fear. Fear can hold us back from so many things. Fear of what others will think, fear of disappointment and fear of failure.

I know as part of my path to wellness I need to write down my journey. I created this website and decided to blog as often as I wanted so I could keep myself motivated to keep going. I did not make it public. What if no one liked what I wrote? What if I failed after the day 2 - what was I thinking? post? What if someone thought less of me because of my struggles? What if.....

Then Denis read it. He laughed and could relate to my writing. He encouraged me to share. I sent it out to some close friends and my parents who also liked it. Maybe this isn't so scary after all... Nah who am I kidding I'm still scared to post it on Facebook to truly commit to my wellness journey.

Now I just don't have to do it alone.

I've joined other Q members in the No more ExQuses - The 90-day Biggest "User" challenge on Facebook. I publicly (though I didn't know it at the time) wrote to commit to using 30 pounds in 90 days. And now I am making this blog public.

I'm going to struggle with the what if's.... I really don't want to fail. I've started the dreaded DIET so many times. Done it on my own. Didn't tell anyone so no one would know if I failed. Well every time I did fail. Yup. Always failed on my own.

This time is different. It's not a diet. I'm not alone. I've got my wellness plan; 5 days in - it's working. I feel good. And now I am sharing...
