Accountability

I've made several friends since I joined the gym a few years ago. But, there are 2 gals in particular that I seem to have the most in common with. We're all about the same age, we're all moms of younger children, and we're all working hard trying to lose weight. They have actually been working out together for quite some time, but I've been invited to join in. In fact, they're not only working out together, they're each weighing in, keeping a food journal and then sharing it with each other once a week for accountability. I've been invited to join that as well. While I'm interested, I'm also scared to death. Actually, scared to death doesn't even begin to cover how I'm feeling. It's one thing for me to confess my shortcomings here, but it's another thing all together to have someone read it, right in front of me. I get some comfort knowing that I have no idea who's reading right now. I know there are a few, but I don't know who you are. There's some safety in that. And, while I'll share the highs and lows of the weeks, I'm not sharing every single thing I might eat. I don't know. It would certainly be a great way to stay motivated and to be accountable. That's one thing I think that maybe I've been missing. Yes, I'm accountable here. However, I'm only giving "generals" and no specifics. I can't hide behind a computer screen when my readers are standing right in front of me. Something to think about for sure!
