Today marks one week in dietbet #1. ONE whole week of eating healthy foods and upping my activity and I am down 70% already. I should be thrilled, yes? I guess so, but to be honest it's tough. It makes my brain think "ok, we've got this in the bag. we can coast now." NO! NO! NO! No, brain. You shut up! LOL. The truth is that 4.2 pounds are gone, but it's not 4.2 pounds of fat (hello, water weight!). My pants are still tight. I still have FAT to lose. I am still not happy with my body. I still have 16.4 pounds to my ultimate goal weight. I need to keep going!
I saw this coming. I know there is usually a massive drop in week one when you go from eating crap to eating well. And that's why I committed to dietbet #2 right from the start. It starts next week and there will be no massive water drop at the beginning. I will have to lose a legit 4% to win. I am excited about this. I want the challenge. I want the motivation. That's why I'm here! It's not about winning money for me. I want to WIN of course, but by losing weight and and not losing the money I put in. I am excited. I am ready! I want to get to goal once and for all! And stay there, of course. (hey dietbet - are you going to have a bet for maintainers soon? Pretty sure I'll need it!)
