Since Christmas, I've gained weight. I am not quite back at my start weight, but I'm nowhere near where I should be. I've only made 1/3 of the weigh ins so far.
In 2014 I was winning DietBets left and right. What happened?
I sabotaged my own success. I was continuing to lose weight, I felt good about how much weight I had already lost, and I was enjoying the way my clothes were fitting. I decided I deserved to splurge a little around Christmas, enjoy some wine and ham and cookies and popcorn and sweets and...too much. I decided I didn't need to exercise because I deserved a break.
I will get exactly what I deserve. If I want to be successful in this bet, I need to put in the same amount of effort I was putting in before. If I want to get down to my goal weight, I need to work off the excess weight. If I want to feel strong and healthy, I need to make myself strong and healthy through good decisions. I deserve my success - or my failure- and I want success. Time to go back to making good decisions.
