PAYING OFF DEBT
- Just like debt, when you get to a certain point in gaining weight, you know you are in for the long haul
- You have to commit, piece by piece, to paying it off or losing it
- The last part can often be the hardest, but you gotta keep making payments and decreasing that load
- Just like money and spending, people can eat and eat crap past a healthy point until they are so far in that it is hard to get out
