Day 49
Extreme Accountability Challenge
Starting weight 304 pounds
Destination weight 175 pounds.
Total weight loss to date 38 pounds
The scales move little by little. Some days they stay the same or even jump up when you’ve done everything possible to stick to your program and still no weight loss. It can be frustrating changing the course that took years if not decades of overeating to add extra pounds. We want the weight to be gone today or better yet how about yesterday?
It would be so much easier to quit and forget about this weight loss thing. Oh wait a second… You’re posting everyday on Facebook, you can’t quit!
Oh I guess I could but no I’m not, that’s why I’m posting, I’m locked in, but what about when I reach my destination weight of 175 pounds? That’s when the real long term fight begins. I haven’t decided exactly what that will look like but you may want to unfriend me now, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll keep seeing these scales after the weight is gone. You see the battle I’m in with my weight I’m realizing, is a battle for my life, and I can’t give up ever.
Yesterday while listening to a business podcast, I was reminded of this scene in the movie “Rudy”. It applies to so much, I’ve added the link. Rudy was playing for the glory of playing for Notre Dame football, the Extreme Accountability Challenge, well we’re playing for our lives, that’s really it. It’s that big. What are you playing for?
