As a 27 year old without kids, I have been unpleased with my weight for several years. I have no excuses just lack of discipline.
Here I am once again confronted with the decision of making a change. I must admit I felt slightly annoyed when I saw the invite for this weight loss challange. Not annoyance with the person that invited me, but more so with myself knowing that if I declined it would be as if I had officially declared "I am a fatty fat fat for life, and I like it!". Which is far from the truth, but accepting also felt like I would say to myself "Im determined and so confident that I will put money where my mouth is". Yeah.... right.
The truth is I want to desperatley lose weight, but life is so stressful, so busy and latlely very difficult that commiting on paper or (online) just felt overwhelming and not a priority at the moment.
So why did I sign up? Because really, my weight consumes me. Its something I think of every single day. From the moment I put on my giant bra in the morning and feel like a grandma because they dont make cute bras in my size, to then picking out my daily outfit based on what will hide my body the best, and the never ending guilt over every single food choice I make. The list goes on and on. Im too young for this!
I know that a better lifestyle can fix all of these things. It will also make me a happier person, not just for the obvious shallow reasons of looking better, but I will sleep better and feel better which in turn will help me cope with lifes stresses better. Shouldn't this be enough motivaion?
Ok fine I confess! I only joined after doing the math and realizing that 4% of my body weight is really not that much weight at all to lose in 4 weeks. lol :P
If anyone can do it, so can I. If I can do it, anyone can.
