LW, the weight loss thing isn't that hard - of course exerise would make the weight loss easier, but diet is a larger factor. Start taking in fewer calories/day than you need to stay alive. You don't need 'extra time' to be hungry. Of course I don't know if obsessing about your weight is really useful. If you work on it and get thinner, you're just setting yourself up for a lifetime struggle of trying to keep thin, or more likely a lifetime of taking off weight you 'gained over the holidays'. As for guitar, you seem to have time for it, considering your ambitions (none) are realistic. I'm more concerned about the time you spend with your family (very little). You give little time during the week and you're sending your kids away for various 'lessons' on the weekend. Them kids will only be kids for a short while - don't squander this time on 'lessons' and your all-so-important work! WTF did you have kids when you want to spend less than 1/7 of your time being a parent? FFS, parenting is a once in a lifetime experience and you're shitting it away for crap that will mean nothing to you in 20 years.
