Woot woot!
Took the plunge and started DietBet today! I'm about as excited as I've ever been about weight loss. I like that there is a set beginning and ending to the challenge. I thought about doing the six month DietBet, but don't think I have the attention span for it. Maybe at the end of the 28 days I will join a six month group.
I've invited people that I know to join, so I really have to lose weight (I feel like I'm being watched, even if everyone deleted my invitations and forgot about it!) But it's a good thing, right? Being watched? Not like being stalked, more like having a nanny cam. :)
I do want to note the reasons that I am doing this, in case I choose to forget in a few weeks when I'm a) tired b) hungry c)discouraged or d) all of the above.
So, here's my motivation list of why I'm dropping the weight and dropping it NOW:
- I feel like crap. Seriously, I haven't been this fat for a long time and this is no way to live. I'm tired all the time and my knees don't like steps at this weight. Enough already.
- I look like crap. These stretch jeans are crying. And you know I will not be heading into a well-lit dressing room fortified with mirrors at all angles to find new jeans. Not gonna happen.
- Summer is coming. Like an invading army. And I must be prepared! I thought I was overweight last summer (and I was) but this long, dark winter has been rough and I'm a toad now. So, now I have to get down to the weight that I was at when I needed to lose some weight. And then I need to get rid of that weight, as well. All on me, all my choices. Note to self: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WOMAN, DON'T EAT THAT!
- That is all.
