So I really didn't think I could do it, but I did it!!! I met my goals for two dietbets - and I had to lose 6 lbs in three weeks for one of them, and I actually pulled through despite not having a huge progress in the first two weeks. This week of eating clean and exercising has really paid off.
I'm so relieved. But I also think I'm going to take a break from dietbets for a while after this because it's really stressing me out, and it's not as 'fun' as I would have wanted it to be since I felt like I had to rush my weight loss.
I know I'll be back though. As much as I am stressed out by it, it really works. I've always worked best under stress anyway. I just don't like the feeling.
Let's hope I can keep my current weight for the next week - maybe push it down to 145 before I take a hiatus. I do want to get my weight down to 140 though (my BMI will finally be within range of healthy!) - but choices, choices. I want to eat pizza and ice cream, and that's a huge temptation.
Even so, I'm just so happy I made the bet for this time!! I just feel like I really worked hard for it.
