Day 45
Extreme Accountability Challenge
Total weight loss to date 35 pounds
I've been thinking about how for so many years I allowed myself to buy into the belief that it was okay to just halfway get my weight off and get healthy. I liked the idea that when I was "trying" to get healthy and lose weight in years past, it was socially acceptable and politically correct to deviate from my program for a "special" occasion. I would say "well so and so's birthday only happens once a year" or "whatever special day only happens once a year."
Guess what? Pretty soon every day became "special."
Who in the heck was I kidding. This was just stinking thinking! Would it be okay for a recovering alcoholic to have one drink on a special occasion? I didn't think so.
I'm not saying there's not grace for you or me or anyone else that fails. But really, am I done leveraging my future for a bowl of ice cream or am I all in?
Guys I'm not perfect, I could fail, but guess what, I'm not going to fail. I will stick to my program to the letter. I'm not saying this out of ego, I'm saying this out of urgency, if not now when?
On those special occasions I would say "tomorrow l will get serious about my obesity."
Tomorrow showed up for me when the scales read 304 pounds on March 8, 2017. It's urgent, it's a must not a try, There is no more "I should" only "I have to" "therefore I will get this weight off and be healthy."
People this is not a drill, it is life or death. Today and forever I chose life. I hope you will too.
