Day 101 Extreme Accountability Challenge Starting weight 304 pounds Destination weight 175 pounds Total weight loss to date 62.8 pounds 66.2 pounds to go After 100 days posting, I can say this accountability works. At least it has for me and several others. I can also say that for 100 days straight I have wanted to eat more than I should, not plan my meals for each day, not get any exercise, and on and on. But I didn’t, every day I knew that the next morning, bright and early, I was going to step on the scales, maybe 2 or 3 times although it never helps, then take a picture of that reading, my weight!, then post it for the World to see. That will make the curly fries and ice cream look way less appealing!It’s working, for me and many others.
The temptations will probably never stop, maybe some day, but it doesn’t matter, I’m posting my weight tomorrow. Initially it’s unnerving, to say the least, but it works and really isn’t unnerving anymore, it really became empowering immediately. The unexpected result of this strong version of accountability, is that knowing that I have to post my scales tomorrow, helps me make adjustments when needed. Whenever I hit a plateau, it forces me to dig deeper for a way to adjust my intake to get a weight loss. The old me would have probably just quit and started gaining weight back. When I hit a wall now I find a way around it or a way through it. Remember comfort and safety are overrated. Press forward. 175 pounds here I come!!! |
