So this isn't a post about how I got fat. That one's easy. Mama likes to eat! Instead I wanted to share how I ended up here as a part of this DietBet...
I've known I needed to do something about my weight for years now. There have been times when I've put forth the effort, but nothings ever really stuck. I've always gained it all back. Lately I've been feeling that push from my inner skinny girl to get moving. Then a few days ago, I heard someone compare weightloss to 'bringing order to the chaos'.
I was kind of fascinated, and the more I thought about it, the more I understood it. For a long time I've been trying to figure out how to lose weight without putting in the work. There is this sense of chaos in the way I eat and live. I've always been afraid of brining order to that because I figured I would never be able to stick with it. The fear of failing again has stopped me from even trying.
A few days ago I saw an e-mail in my junk folder about this DietBet. So I joined. Then I got a groupon email about a local gym that I've been wanting to try out. So I bought it.
Slowly but surely I'm taking the steps I need to, to bring order to my chaos. Yes I've failed in the past, but I'm no longer going to allow my past to determine my future!
Glad to be here!
