Wow, I finally got back on my horse and decided enough was ENOUGH!
I used to weight 222lbs before life grabbed hold and told me "Live life however you want!"
Big mistake, I got to my highest weight of 284 and I was ashamed. Ashamed to have lost all my hard work just to eat whatever I wanted and be a lazy bum....binge watching GoT and Walking Dead. (right?!?!)
After the holidays I could really feel the weight. I developed plantar fasciitis (never had before) and my energy levels were at an all time low. I couldn't get through a day without taking a nap on my lunch.
I had heard of DietBet before but never really understood the appeal considering I had dropped money in order to try herbal life challenges and would eventually give up because the loney was already gone and there wasn't enough support.
While I was wary of investing in myself, I did....what is there to lose? You have given money before...do it again!
The difference is the possible return of the invest if you meet your goal...it was that simple!
And let me tell you, it was a wonderful motivator!!!
I find myself making healthier food choices knowing that I could get my money back!
I feel the motivation to go to the gym to ensure that I am doing everything I can in order to lose that 4% of my body fat. Which was 11.4 lbs. That is a lot if you are just looking at it and remembering how difficult it is to lose weight. I have reached my goal yesterday with 5 days to spare!
While I am sure I will flux a little until then, I am still taking the time to give myself a few pounds of leeway just in case! I am not sure how I will feel when I win, but I know I want to do this again and again until I get down to the one hundred gang and eventually my goal weight of 180lbs.
