Day 33, April 16, 2017

Day 33
Extreme Accountability Challenge
Total weight loss to date 29.4 pounds

As I write this 33rd post on Easter Sunday 2017, I am struck by how this struggle with weight and so many other areas of life begins with me wanting my way. Ouch! Me. I'm the common denominator of the vast majority of my challenges that I've faced throughout my life. We live in a culture that teaches self first in almost every area I can think of. It seems so normal and yes feels so natural to put myself first. I can try to hide it in many other areas of my life but not overeating, wow you can't hide that one forever.
This idea to post my scales to bring this beast inside of me that wants what I want, when I want it, under control is not the be all end all. It just forces me to confront the fact every morning that I have to control me, there is no gradual hiding my overeating from the day before, it's exposed every morning of every day to my Facebook friends and probably to many others.

If weight is a problem for you like it has been for me, sacrifice that bite that you aren't really hungry for, find the self control some how, the 1/2 pound a month will add up. I know everyone else around you is overeating and over weight. Be different, there may be something to live for that you will miss because of those extra bites of food, little by little ounce by ounce, and voila, you are 55 years old and 100 pounds overweight, that's what happened to me.

Consider the example over 2000 years ago, Jesus didn't consider himself, he considered you. Talk about self control. I know you're thinking what does that have to do with posting my weight, everything, it's about sacrificing what I want now, eating more than I need, for something much more important, life. You see this time we have on earth is brief, ask any 80 year old. Don't speed it up by being overweight.

If you aren't making progress losing weight on your own. Do something different, join me and several others that are posting our weight daily for the World to see and hold us accountable. We call it the Extreme Accountability Challenge.

Join us if you really want to change.

The steps to joining the Extreme Accountability Challenge are:

Step 1-Weigh  and take a photo of the reading on the scales
Step 2-post to all of Facebook (tag me in the post so that you are added to our group)
Step 3-Repeat everyday until you reach your goal weight.
We don't tell you what to eat or how to exercise but I think you will find this to be the most powerful appetite suppressant you have ever used
Don't look left, right, up, or down just jump
It'll change your life and every one around you

175 pounds here I come!!!

Day 32
Extreme Accountability Challenge
Total weight loss to date 28.4 pounds

The needle moves slowly some days, it even moves up some, even when I have done everything possible to stick to my program. Yesterday 2/10 pounds down from yesterday that’s 3.2 ounces, so by my calculations I will completely disappear in 1376 days! Well that’s not the idea but getting to 175 pounds before November 23, 2017 is. That’s my goal.

I started a new habit this morning that I read about a few days ago. I’m listing 5 things that I am currently thankful for each morning and 5 things in the future as though they have already occurred, no hoodoo voodoo, just by faith being thankful.
One of the things that I am thankful for, are those that have had the courage to come along side me in this journey. It has made it much easier to stay the course.
Summers Duffy that 3 days after I started posting joined me.
Mike Wrabel that I didn’t even know before this started about then too.
Especially thankful for my wife that even though other ladies were talking about it none had posted their scales, what courage to be the first woman to post her scales each day. Thank you for fighting this fight with me.
But everyone of us that is benefiting from the Extreme Accountability Challenge should thank my health coach John Davisson who several weeks before I first posted, encouraged me to do this. He gave me hope that if I followed his healthy lifestyle and stuck to it I would succeed.
And lastly Hyo Kim who providentially came into my life and challenged me to do it, to step up and fill this gap that obesity had created in my life once and for all and announce it to Facebook. I told him on that morning that I didn’t particularly like heights and this felt like cliff diving with no parachute! What he knew and I had to find out is that this allowed me to grow wings that didn’t exist before. He was the person put in my life that said just do it!
John and Hyo gave me the courage to post my scales every day until I reached 175 pounds. No one else was doing this but me and everyone else on Facebook. I don’t say this for accolades just to let you know how scary it was then, Pretty scary looking back. Thanks for them and all that have come along since then.

Day 30
Extreme Accountability Challenge
Total weight loss to date 27.4 pounds.

Wow 30 days of showing my Facebook world my scales every day. Day one was exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. To think I had let myself, a average frame man, 5’11” tall, get to a mammoth 304 pounds, and even though anyone that looked at me could see that I was fat, somehow admitting it to the world with a picture of my scales would be like admitting something that everyone already knew. I could run from it but there’s just no way to hide 129 pounds of fat. But really the real hesitation was what if I posted and failed and remained fat. What a bigger fool I would be. But I had to really dig deeper, if I admitted this daily, I would have to give up this love affair with food once and for all. That’s really the question isn’t it? What was I, or maybe what are you willing to do to lose the weight? If you’re crazy enough to join me and several others, that by the way I had no idea would join me, do you really want to change or is it just talk? Not me, I’m done with looking around the room to see who’s fatter than me so that I can eat one more bite that I don’t need or really want. I know you probably don’t have 129 pounds to lose, but guess what? I didn’t either in the beginning, it was 5 here, then, 10 there, and pretty soon 50, 60, then over 100 pounds!
I will get to 175 pounds, I will be healthy again, will you?
