Day 33
Extreme Accountability Challenge
Total weight loss to date 29.4 pounds
As I write this 33rd post on Easter Sunday 2017, I am struck by how this struggle with weight and so many other areas of life begins with me wanting my way. Ouch! Me. I'm the common denominator of the vast majority of my challenges that I've faced throughout my life. We live in a culture that teaches self first in almost every area I can think of. It seems so normal and yes feels so natural to put myself first. I can try to hide it in many other areas of my life but not overeating, wow you can't hide that one forever.
This idea to post my scales to bring this beast inside of me that wants what I want, when I want it, under control is not the be all end all. It just forces me to confront the fact every morning that I have to control me, there is no gradual hiding my overeating from the day before, it's exposed every morning of every day to my Facebook friends and probably to many others.
If weight is a problem for you like it has been for me, sacrifice that bite that you aren't really hungry for, find the self control some how, the 1/2 pound a month will add up. I know everyone else around you is overeating and over weight. Be different, there may be something to live for that you will miss because of those extra bites of food, little by little ounce by ounce, and voila, you are 55 years old and 100 pounds overweight, that's what happened to me.
Consider the example over 2000 years ago, Jesus didn't consider himself, he considered you. Talk about self control. I know you're thinking what does that have to do with posting my weight, everything, it's about sacrificing what I want now, eating more than I need, for something much more important, life. You see this time we have on earth is brief, ask any 80 year old. Don't speed it up by being overweight.
If you aren't making progress losing weight on your own. Do something different, join me and several others that are posting our weight daily for the World to see and hold us accountable. We call it the Extreme Accountability Challenge.
Join us if you really want to change.
The steps to joining the Extreme Accountability Challenge are:
Step 1-Weigh and take a photo of the reading on the scales
Step 2-post to all of Facebook (tag me in the post so that you are added to our group)
Step 3-Repeat everyday until you reach your goal weight.
We don't tell you what to eat or how to exercise but I think you will find this to be the most powerful appetite suppressant you have ever used
Don't look left, right, up, or down just jump
It'll change your life and every one around you
