Serendipity is such a nice word! I read about Dietbet at Greatist and was ready to commit to a six month challenge when Greatist dropped another email in my inbox about hosting a Dietbet themselves. Being a huge Greatist fan, I put the 6 month challenge on the back burner and waited for their challenge to start.
For some reason, I am so excited about this. I like games, I like personal challenges and I'm liking the public accountability.
My goal is to lose the 4% but better than that, to hold myself accountable for things that I know -- I know how to eat well, I know that treats are good occasionals, I know that eating a whole bag of chips out of boredom or the feeling of impotence is not good, I know how to cook and I know that I have tenacity and strength. I also know that I LOVE to move so instead of putting that on the back burner for when other things are done, I need to make that a priority. Oh, and I've discovered that meditation, in any form that speaks to you, actually does help on all goal levels.
Good luck to us all and let's hope the excitement continues!
Hello, Serendipity!
