Day 45
Extreme Accountability Challenge
Total weight loss to date 35 pounds

I've been thinking about how for so many years I allowed myself to buy into the belief that it was okay to just halfway get my weight off and get healthy.  I liked the idea that when I was "trying"  to get healthy and lose weight in years past,  it was socially acceptable and politically correct to deviate from my program for a "special" occasion. I would say "well so and so's birthday only happens once a year" or "whatever special day only happens once a year."
Guess what? Pretty soon every day became "special."

 Who in the heck was I kidding. This was just stinking thinking! Would it be okay for a recovering alcoholic to have one drink on a special occasion? I didn't think so.

I'm not saying there's not grace for you or me or anyone else that fails. But really, am I done leveraging my future for a bowl of ice cream or am I all in?
Guys I'm not perfect, I could fail,  but guess what, I'm not going to fail. I will stick to my program to the letter. I'm not saying this out of ego, I'm saying this out of urgency, if not now when?
On those special occasions I would say "tomorrow l will get serious about my obesity."
Tomorrow showed up for me when the scales read 304 pounds on March 8, 2017.  It's urgent, it's a must not a try, There is no more "I should" only "I have to" "therefore I will get this weight off and be healthy."

People this is not a drill, it is life or death. Today and forever  I chose life. I hope you will too.

If you aren't making progress losing weight on your own. Maybe it's time to get extreme and 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
