Starting Over... Again

I've been trying to find the motivation and energy to start this again. I start out full of positive energy and commitment, then burn out after a week (regardless of results).
I know all the reasons and ALL the excuses! I'm a pro at procrastination!
There's always something I can find to waylay my efforts.
My partner (because boyfriend at our age sounds ridiculous) isn't interested in helping(insert male excuses here). He's the kind of person, who can lose a pound a week, just by eliminating the jam from his morning toast.
We are very socially active, and attend a lot of events. So, cocktails and appetizers are the curse of my existence!
I am a self taught seamstress, with a busy little business. This allows me to make my own clothes. By doing so, I always have an up to date wardrobe that fits and looks nice. However, I don't feel what other people see. I want to feel what my friends and family see when they look at me!
Here's to another go on the merry go round; and NOT falling off!
Thanks for reading!
Cheers,
Maurene
