Check out this sentence...."I lost the first six of the first ten of the ten tens I have to lose." LOL. I love words.

I want to lose 100 lbs. but that big number shares the $hit out of me so I'm just planning to lose ten pounds.....ten times. I actually got the idea from a cookie story regarding my dear departed daddy. He had a cookie jar that my mom dutifully kept full for him. One day my youngest child helped herself to this cookie jar and when my mom noticed that there were only a few cookies left she asked this lovely, angelic child how many cookies she had eaten. Her reply...ever so sweetly was...

"I only had a couple. (pause) A couple times."

;) Thank you, Rach, for the idea. Let's hope it works. :)
