Day 99 Extreme Accountability Challenge Starting weight 304 pounds Destination weight 175 pounds Total weight loss to date 62.2 pounds 66.8 pounds to go Heroes may not be braver than anyone else. They’re just braver five minutes longer. I’m pretty sure when Ronald Reagan said those words he wasn’t referring to me or anyone else that had stuck to their diet and lost weight. I wanted to make sure, so I looked it up, he was speaking at The 1980 and 1981 Young American Medals for Bravery and Service Presentation December 22, 1982. These were young people that did extraordinary acts of bravery. Real heros. I’m no expert but acts of bravery tend to be situational. If something terrifies you or has beaten you over and over and you have to leave the confines of safety and comfort, remember yesterday their overrated, and you must take action that changes the course of that situation, well I think Ronald Reagan might even agree, that’s bravely. I’m pretty sure you see where I’m going. While losing weight may inherently be a selfish act, to have staying power to get ALL of the weight off, you have to work at this probably longer and harder than you thought you would. If you have any one that really loves you and cares for you, losing your weight is just as much for them as it is for you. Be brave 5 minutes longer. In order to see this through to your healthiest and best self it’s going to take sacrifice, no bullets flying, but be brave 5 minutes longer. During those times when you want just one more bite, and you know that you shouldn’t, be brave 5 minutes longer. Safety and comfort are overrated. Press forward. 175 pounds here I come!!! |
