Obstacles? Deal With Them Now by : Brian Cavanaugh

An old farmer had plowed around a large rock in one of his fields for years. He had broken several plowshares and a cultivator on it and had grown rahter morbid about the rock.

After breaking another plowshare one day, and remembering all the trouble the rock had caused him through the years, he finally decided to do something about it.

When he put the crowbar under the rock, he was surprised to discover that it was only about six inches thick and that he could break it up easily with a sledgehammer. As he was carting the pieces away he had to smile, remembering all the trouble that the rock had caused him over the years and how easy it would have been to ged rid of it sooner.

That's just about what I would equate my weight to- a big ol' ROCK!!! But, like the farmer, this rock is beginning to budge!

Thanks for the story.

Wow -thanks for posting that! I also feel kinda silly- my rock was my weight since my middle child..... and after starting Atkins I feel kinda silly that I didn't start sooner and lose some of that "rock".
