Last April I started my weightloss journey and lost about 40 lbs. In November, I discovered dietbet through youtube and started my first dietbet challenge. I lost about 9 lbs and after that dietbet I fell off the wagon and hit the floor hard. I suppose I could blame the holiday season for making it difficult, or I could blame the weather for turning drastically cold, but in the end the only person I could only blame is myself.
It's now nearly the end of February and I've gained about 25 lbs of the 40 lbs I initially lost last year, along with all of the 9 lbs I did lose for dietbet in November. It's very shameful, disappointing and sorrowful to me and my self-esteem. It's hard to fathom that a person can gain 25 lbs back in less than 3 months, but let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, IT IS POSSIBLE. I am living proof of it, shamefully so. The only upside to this is that I know I'm not alone, I know that there are many people experiecing the same exact dilemma I just mentioned and I know that despite how hard I've fallen, I can always get back up and try again.
Today, begins the start of a new dietbet game for me and hopefully the start of a different journey as well. I have to remind myself that at times it will be hard, and I will feel like giving up, but I mustn't. I must stay strong for myself, my family and most importantly my health.
