This may come of no surprise to you but as I’ve walked through the last 107 days, very publicly, when I write these posts, I write them for the man or woman who may be just like I was, you want to change, you just don’t know what to do, and you’ve tried, “everything”. Your emotionally drained and you have just given up.
I’m talking to you, these posts are my way of shaking you, and saying, “there is still time, there is still hope, you are still alive so you do have a chance to overcome this addiction of overeating”.
I could write about how to make better food choices or the latest exercise that will result in weight loss, but you and I both know that’s not the problem. It’s never been the problem. Having a healthy eating program that is proven and you can stick to is important, but we both know it’s not the most important.
What’s important is that it’s up to me for me and it’s up to you for you.
You’ve always had the controls, it’s always been your choice. For goodness sake, will you please listen?
This isn’t just about getting into your “thin clothes”. This is about your life. How long will you ignore the warning, how long will you ignore your doctor and the people that love you.
I did for far too long, but I cannot change that, I can change today, I can take the step in front of me, and make better choices today.
This Extreme Accountability Challenge has become so much more than a way to be accountable to lose weight. Every day I wake up with something to say to the “old me”. To that person that wants to change, “you can”, “there is no magical diet that will rescue you”, “no personal trainer that will make sure you exercise enough”, it is within you to change.
This all begins with a decision and then every single decision that you make about food, whether you are home, on vacation, whether it’s your birthday, or any of a myriad of other places or times that have positioned you to make choices that resulted in weight gain.
If you struggle with your weight, I write these posts to you, I won’t stop.
It has always been your choice to change. It still is. Trust me, I was the worst of the worst, when it came to not sticking to a healthy eating plan.
Let me say this, you can do this, you can lose the weight and gain so much more, your health.
You can do this, I promise you can. Change now, not tomorrow, or even 5 minutes from now, change now.
It won’t be easy or comfortable but it will be worth it.
Remember comfort and safety are overrated.
Get uncomfortable and take a chance and…
Press post then press forward.
175 pounds here I come!!!
