I haven't ever done a DietBet. I saw it come across my Facebook and decided read all about it as far as everything that goes on and how it works. So I decided to jump in. I woke up this morning and set up my scales and mirror. Stripped down to the minimum. I avoid all mirrors, especially when I am so exposed. I haven't looked at my body in a full length mirror in years. When I go to buy clothes I just buy the size or bigger than I'm wearing at the moment. So as a stepped in front of the mirror this morning... Disgusted... Sad... Depressed... Completely shocked at how I have let myself go since I had my son. I am a 25 year old single mom to a 5 year old little boy. Why did I let myself go? Why did I fail myself? I could blame everything in my life if I wanted to. Single mom, full time job at a desk, depression/anxiety, don't have time, etc.... But I won't make excuses anymore. I will get to my goal weight. I will improve my health and mind. My son deserves a healthy and happy mom. I will get there whether it takes me one DietBet challange or if it takes me 10. I will make it.

Sign in to CommentI love your spirit Sadie. Now it's time to change your perspective and set your FOCUS. We are going to get you to NAIL this challenge and set you up with strong fitlife habits to take with you on your journey. You haven't failed at anything. You are just getting started, which means you've got lots to learn and lots to accomplish. But thats the fun of it all!!!! When you start seeing progress. The way you feel at the end of a hard week of workouts. The feeling you get after a month of eating well and completing workouts you couldn't imagine doing before. Getting stronger, lasting longer, it's all progress!! Make each day count even in the smallest sense of it all. You've got this girl!
I'm on my 5th kickstarter and looking back on that first DietBet picture I can see how depressed I was even though I'd already lost 5 lbs on my own by that point. It's hard to really look at yourself, but it's a necessary first step. I didn't know if I could do it, or if I'd be able to win my bet. But, I was doing it for myself and my health. Not just to be "skinny" for a wedding/reunion/party/etc. Progress, not perfection. You'll get to where you want to be.
