Rock Bottom and a Diet Bet

So, it's here.  The night before I start changing my habits.  (yes, I made a jug of sweet tea just to drink tonight, don't judge)  I'm nervous.  I do NOT want to fail again. I will NOT fail again!  After looking back at all my blog posts from way back....it made me super sad to see how many times I was 'broken' and ready to change for good.  Ugh.  Sickening.  A friend once told me that I would have to hit rock bottom before I would make a change.  But the coolest thing that she told me....is that I could decide what my rock bottom was.  Well I am deciding what it is...RIGHT NOW.  My rock bottom IS now.  I am at (almost) my highest weight (only 16 pounds less), I am miserable, embarrassed, and tired of feeling like CRAP!  I want to be the wife my husband can be proud of, the mom my girls won't be embarrassed by, and the confident chick people can look up to. So here we go, since I am at rock bottom with my self esteem, weight, and eating habits...there is only one way to go...UP! 

So to get this party started I decided to make a little wager on myself.  I joined this Diet Bet on dietbet.com.  Chris and Heidi Powell (Chris from extreme makeover weightloss edition) are leading one of the bets.  I had to pay $30 to join.  You have four weeks to lose 4% of your body weight.  For me that is about 12 pounds.  I KNOW I can do it.  At the end of the four weeks you send in your official weigh in and all of the winners of the game split the pot.  The losers forfeit their $30.  On average winners get 1.5 to 2x their bet money back.  I'm hoping it's more this time :)  If this goes well I will probably join one of the six month bets!

Super nervous Excited!!!!!  I know I can do this....I know there will be hard times but I am so thankful to have my friends and family to lean on, and of course YOU!  I know I can come here and vent and you guys will be so supportive.  :)  Thanks so much, and God bless!
