I am fat.
Before and after: ten years apart |
What’s up with me stating the obvious, huh? Haha. Well, I have always been on the fat side, actually, but now I’m even more so.
I am so fat that I wear the same clothes over and over because my old clothes no longer fit and I don’t like to buy new ones because I don’t like dressing up anymore because I don’t like the way I look. 🙁
I know it’s no use being depressed when I’m not doing anything about it, so I’ve decided to make a move.
The thing is, I’m a bit competitive. I like challenges, shall we say. Why do you think I joined this A-Z challenge?
Two years ago I managed to lose 8 kg and why was that? Because of a challenge. I had a bet with two friends about it and because I am a Monica* I dropped the kgs.
Unfortunately, those two friends did not keep up, so I lost my motivation as well, because I am oh so easily influenced like that. :-/
So now I need a new motivation… a new challenge! And this time I don’t want to rely on other people losing steam for this and dragging me along with them, so this time it will just be me losing weight but the possibility of losing money still being there. So I will bet with myself. I’ll explain how that works in a while.
But first – the deal. I bet that I can drop at least 15 kg (my freshman 15!) – and keep them off – in 2013.
I will put S$50 into an account at the beginning of each month, and I will use that money to buy an ipad mini, which I really really and did I mention – REALLY – want, when I’ve lost the 15 kg.
At the end of this year if I haven’t lost the aforementioned weight, I will have to use the money some other way. I haven’t decided at this point how to do so, though, but it has to hurt. Any ideas? Maybe someone wants to bet against me or something?
And now – let the dieting commence!
P.S. If you want to keep track of my progress, just keep your eyes on the Myfitnesspal thingie over on the right sidebar.
*Monica – Monica Geller, a character from the Friends TV series, is extremely competitive.
