I have struggled with trying to get down to a size” good” for the past 10 years. I have made several attempts at losing weight. I would always start off good and then by the third day I was headache-y, tired, and frustrated with trying to win the battle of the bulge.
My friend is a certified nutrition coach and had been approached by a fellow church member about an approach to losing weight. Therefore, she called me and we started brainstorming and looking on the internet and came across Diet.bet.com.
Dietbet’s premise is as follows: someone organizes a diet bet, set’s the amount of the pot ($10 and up), advertises it, people join and for four weeks, the participants are to lose 4% of their body weight in a matter of four weeks.
It is Day 7 and I have lost 3 pounds and I need to lose another four to be included in the winner circle. I see why people attempt the challenge of losing weight to find themselves falling off the wagon (thud!) It is not for the week of mind or spirit. It is a life-changing event that must be handled diligently.
When I first started counting calories, I could not believe how many calories there were in a croissant (280) without any meat or cheese! Breakfast shot out of the park! Reading labels on packaging has become necessary.

I also learned that food preparation is key! What and how many calories and how much can I have. Don’t get me wrong, you can adjust your intake. However, intake vs. movement is my new equation. You want the slice of cake (300 calories) is you willing to walk the extra 2 miles to burn up those calories.
It is just the beginning of this journey…
