Here is a Pro Tip

A year ago, my friend put on Facebook that he was going to lose a large amount of weight

(no it wasn't you terry)

He collected a good amount of well-wishes and likes and even congrats and such

But you know what happened, it lasted for three weeks

Now he feels bad that he let everybody down and that isn't really working for him

The Pro Tip is, and I just read this elsewhere so it's not original, don't announce to your friends and family and dwellars and facebookers that you are starting down some journey. You collect the congratulations now, but you are only due them at the end of the road. It gives you a false sense of accomplishment, yet achieves nothing. Save up those accolades for when you've actually done something.
