Going on this weight loss journey was decades in the making. Dozens of attempts at losing weight, all of them probably would have worked, but the common denominator in all of the failed attempts was me. No I don’t consider myself a failure, I just didn’t really want to give up the food that I loved long enough to get healthy. I wanted a lottery ticket to weight loss. The truth, there isn’t one. Extreme Accountability was the only thing that I could think of that would create the lasting change that I so desperately desired.
When I was in the men’s clothing business back in South Carolina, I was always glad to see a customer that was going to his high school or college reunion, he would usually spare no expense to look younger and thinner. Well imagine going to your high school and college reunion every morning and getting on the scales in front of everyone! That will keep on your eating program. I bet you wouldn’t cheat, that’s what the Extreme Accountability Challenge Participants do every day. It works.
I’ve never posted the 304 pounds picture that was my wake up call but today I am. It took some time and a coach to give me a push to take action and post my first weight of 298 pounds but 304 was where I started.
I may post it every day as a reminder to anyone overweight and ignoring the inevitable. Yes I’ve lost over 40 pounds in less than 2 months, I’m so thankful for that but what if I had done something about my weight before?
175 pounds here I come!!!
Press forward.
