Day 40, April 23, 2017 | Rethink Dieting

'04/22/17 Day 39 Extreme Accountability Challenge Total weight loss to date 33.6 pounds Since starting this public weight loss journey on Facebook March 15, 2017, I get a lot of questions regarding what I'm eating and how much I'm exercising. The short answer is that I'm sticking to a program that I'm guided by my personal health coach @[750842319:2048:John Davisson]. It focuses on making lasting changes and making healthier choices in every area of my life. Nutrition and exercise are key components but just part of the program. I'm not doing anything extreme regarding my food or exercise but guess what? As great of a program as this is, I'm down 33.6 pounds as of this morning, I have failed on this program several times over the last few years. I said that I failed, not the program, I was the problem because I always cheated!!!! I cheated every time on this program and the dozens of others that I tried. So was the program the problem or me, well we both know the answer, me. I wanted my way with food more than my health, that's crazy! I went back to John for one last try because of everything that I had ever tried I knew this one was the one that made the most sense for me. But the magic bullet is the accountability. The Extreme Accountability Challenge is my version of AA for me. The truth is that I cannot be trusted with food, posting my scales daily is a bit of a pain in the neck but it works for me, Others have joined me, not to use the same diet or exercise program, but to hold each other accountable. We don't discuss what we are doing to lose weight, just encouraging each other to stay the course of the path that works for them and post it daily, good or bad. It works, I can honestly say to you 39 days and 33.4 pounds into this journey that I will get to my weight of 175 pounds because of this silly little idea that I had to go public with my weight loss journey and post my scales daily to Facebook. By the way, if I haven't said thank you to you for liking, commenting, or just reading these posts, Thank you. You have given me the courage and willpower to change. I will never be the same and will never forget the part that you play daily in my journey. 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.
