Definition of Foible

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines Foible as:

1) the part of a sword or foil blade between the middle and point 

(huh???? Seriously, Merriam-Webster! You chose a medieval definition to go first?  Really????? )

2) a minor flaw or shortcoming in character or behavior 


Now that's more like it.  I chose the name specifically because it's a bunch of bad habits or flaws that have led to my weight issues.  Nearly 17 years ago, I gathered myself together to shed these habits bit by bit.  Then, three years ago, when I got pregnant with my first child, I found comfort in these habits again, which, of course, led me to where I am today.  So, again, I find myself on a journey to shed these foibles. Hopefully, for good!
