Why I didn’t Join Weight Loss Contest

Why I didn’t Join Weight Loss Contest

A. Because I’m chicken (fear of failure)
B. Because I don’t want anyone, including my Doctor to know how much I weigh (have to go on a diet to see him)
C. I am terminally “unique” (no one can possibly feel the way I do)

Sound like good excuses? They made sense to me – Well, at least they did at the time. I watched all of you working to get “healthy”, admiring your courage and decided join in from afar (still don’t want anyone to know what I weigh). At first it was about losing weight, then it became about changing my eating habits. Knowing I couldn’t do it on my own (I need strict discipline) bit the bullet and ordered nutri-systems. I’m learning to make better choices like fruit instead of cookies, incorporating milk products (low fat of course) into my diet. My portions have gone from huge to normal and even though it’s slow the weight is dropping.

I’m starting to feel better about myself and maybe someday, I’ll tell you what I weigh.
