I was excited to meet my goal for a previous Dietbet challenge and submitted my weigh in for this one at the same time. I was thrilled, elated, excited, overjoyed - you name it.
I just saw my goal weight for this challenge, and my heart skipped a beat and dread screamed in my head! I haven't been in the 160s since I can't remember. My weight crept up on me and then all of a sudden it took off in the wrong direction gathering pounds as the days flew by years ago. Nothing was working, not even 3 different boot camps. Something is working now.
I will work hard towards this goal and approach as any other - I am stronger than the goal line. I will accept that the 160s is a healthy version of me and that it is time for me to let go of all of the stuff I've been holding so close and dear to my heart - excess baggage and pounds. I will allow myself to flow through the days and weighs and not focus on a number.
It is not about a number, it's about regaining my health and being pain free. It's about being able to enjoy the life I have while encouraging others to continue personal journeys to healthier days.
