One of the biggest struggles in my weight loss journey is the lack of motivation and my love for sweet sweet foods.  I'm what you call a yo-yo dieter.. I tend to diet for a couple of months then those hard times come where it's someone's birthday, or thanksgiving or even christmas and there's so much good food around me, I break down and eat.  It doesn't stop there, once I get the sweet-tooth, I end up eating what I call "naughty" foods for weeks or months.. my mind keeps telling me "one more week" or "one more day" won't hurt.  Well, my mind is wrong.. it does hurt.. I feel myself getting more and more fatigued, more and more sluggish.. and the physical activities I love doing become more and more un-attainable.. until I reach that breaking point where my mind begins to say "you've got to stop this, you've got to think of your future".  This cycle repeats itself over and over again, and frankly.. I lose my motivation.  This is why I chose to do the DietBet 10 challenge, instead of the DietBet 4 this time.  I need something to keep my on track, for longer than a month, and I love a good challenge.  I love reading everyone's stories on here, it helps me stay motivated.  I am currently 393.6lbs, my health is in horrible condition.. I can't wait to prove to myself that I can do this, that I am not ashamed, and I will win this DietBet.
