Life is full of ups and downs and unforuantely the same can be said about my battle with weight loss. A year ago was my first 30 day DietBet challenge and I met my goal. I was on cloud nine and it seemed I was on the path to a healthy weight. I decided I didn't need to join another challenge since I was on the right track. Over the rest of the summer I was able to maintain the weight loss but once fall set in the weight started to slowly crept back on my body. I kept fooling myself by thinking it was "under control" and by making plans to start another exercise program tomorrow. Tomorrow never came but 12 pounds did.
Feeling the effects of the weight gain physically and mentally I decided last Sunday it was time to start again but this time instead of waiting until tomorrow I decided to start today. Talking with a member in my congregation who was also part of my last DietBet group we agreed to join a DietBet group. That afternoon I logged onto my account and found a group that was about to start. I immeadiately put my money in the pot and was overjoyed to see I had 40 hours to enter my picture and weight. Instead of putting it off I got off the couch and submitted my information.
I'm so thankful I didn't wait for tomorrow but I started again "today." I can already tell a difference in my attiude as I've been more aware of my food and exercise choices and I know it won't be long until I start feeling the difference with my weightloss.
It's my prayer you won't wait for tomorrow to start but you will start again "Today."
