Day 75 Extreme Accountability Challenge
Starting weight 304 pounds
Destination weight 175 pounds
Total weight loss to date 52.0 pounds
77.0 pounds to go
For those of you watching these scales, no I’m not posting the same photo of my scales over and over, I’ve been stuck at 252.0 pounds for the last 3 days. Ugh! When I get on those scales after following my plan to the letter I want to see a lower weight. I want to be rewarded for my perseverance, I deserve it!
Wrong!!
You don’t gain all the way to 129 pounds overweight and lose it overnight. I get it, but last night was extremely hard to stay on plan, Angie, went to Target, she bought our 2 teenagers their favorite Target Trail Mix. (Warning this part gets graphic and may not be suitable for all audiences!)
Even though I’m sticking to this plan, even though I still have 77 pounds to lose, even though I’ve come this far. The Target Trail mix knows me, it calls my name. I usually would help Ashley and Joshua by sneaking a few dozen handfuls of it. They certainly don’t want to gain weight. Since they both have like zero percent body fat, it’s my job to keep them from the evils of overweight. I will do this by just having a little, like I said a few dozen handfuls!
What a crock! I’ve told myself this kind of garbage for years. It’s been my story.
But no, I was strong, not really, me posting my scales daily to Facebook kept me strong. I knew I would have to face you guys this morning. Yep, I stayed the same weight, even though I stuck to the plan. Staying the same weight can be a win, it was. Truthfully, even though I would be screaming at my scales if I went up or stayed the same weight for long, the truth, it doesn’t matter. I am sticking to my plan because I’m positive I will get to 175 pounds. No cheating, no cheat days, no excuses, I’ve had my cheat days. 55 years of them. My job, STICK TO THE PLAN!
I have a new story that I tell myself, I’m a 175 pound man. Healthy, fit, and in control of myself. 100% responsible for my behavior with food, no more excuses. It’s really who I am, my body may take a while to catch up with me, but it will.
Press forward.
175 pounds here I come!!!
