some cool ideas in this comment. I like the idea of our skipping around the web so arbitrarily as similar to natural conversations in groups where we listen to often multiple threads of stories in quick sucession.

Responsibility is atomic. It’s indivisible. You can multiply it, but you can’t cut it into pieces. Either you have it, or you don’t.
Think about that for a moment. If you put a fraction of the responsibility for your situation onto someone else, you’re taking it off yourself. That’s going to work against you down the road when you use it as an excuse to slack off in a moment of weakness. If you try to lay responsibility for your situation on anyone else, you’re being irresponsible. It’s all or nothing.
I can’t emphasize this point strongly enough. I know the idea of assuming responsibility may sound a bit cliche at first, but seriously this is where the vast majority of people will fail. They’ll claim 80% responsibility and figure that’s enough. It isn’t — not remotely. Get it in your mind right now that 80% is the same as 0% when it comes to responsibility. You can’t allow yourself the “out” of blaming the world, the economy, your spouse’s failings, or some other factor for their inability to get better results.
Responsibility isn’t about blaming yourself or looking to the past. It’s about taking control over your situation. It’s about realizing that you always possess response-ability — the ability to choose your response. It’s about accepting the truth that if anything is going to change, your will must be the force that changes it.
Without 100% responsibility you are utterly powerless. If you want things to change, you have to step into your power fully and completely. And you can’t do that if you remain in denial of even a smidgeon of your responsibility.

I sooooooo need to learn this for diet and exercise! I have NOT been taking full 100 percent responsibility for my diet regime because I did it FOR bat and not for me originally. I tied my self image to my desirability through a mans eyes. That has to stop right now. From now - I have full responsibility - response -ability - to get my weight in check for ME. The upside is that this is MY skin and MY body and NO ONE but me has the choice what goes into it and what it puts out.
