Day 48
Extreme Accountability Challenge
Starting weight 304 pounds
Destination weight 175 pounds.
Total weight loss to date 37.8 pounds.
For so many years I’ve carried this extra weight around. I didn’t wake up at 304 pounds one day……maybe I did.
The waking up really occurred every single day that I was overweight. From 5 pounds to over 125 pounds. I knew what to do but how do I get it done? How do I give up those tasty morsels calling for me, no calling to me, every single day? Excuse the language but, that’s pure BS,
Sure I wanted to be thin but wasn’t willing to do whatever it took to get the job done. The Extreme Accountability Challenge was me going all in. It was me posting my scales daily to Facebook in front of friends from elementary school, junior and senior high school, college friends, church friends, neighbors, family, acquaintances, and you name it. The choice morsels don’t even matter anymore, I can see the faces of so many of you reading this every time I consider cheating on my program. It would be like Will Smith’s sky diving experience, but for me to cheat, would be like jumping out of the plane then flapping my arms trying to get back in, that’s nuts!
The daily experience for me has been nothing short of miraculous. I wonder if someone is reading this now and maybe you are desperate to lose weight. You’ve tried everything, you say you have anyway. You’re watching the Extreme Accountability Challenge quietly wondering if you could lose weight doing something like this too. I don’t know the answer for you. But you say you’ve tried everything, none of the diets ever worked long term, you’ve even considered or had surgery to get thin. You feel defeated. I know where you are. I have laid in bed so many mornings crying out to God for an answer to this weight problem.
What would you be willing to do to be there for your family, your spouse, who knows who else. Go watch the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” and imagine your family’s world without you. The weight could kill you, it could do so much harm in so many ways.
I know we have something here, if you want to get well, healthy, thin, message me. We can tandem jump from this cliff together( metaphorically speaking). I jumped alone praying others would join me, and they have and we’re all succeeding together. The Extreme Accountability isn’t a parachute, it’s it’s how you grow wings. You’re going to fly!
175 pounds here I come!!!
