No Take-backs by Carrie Glenn

Ever did something you can't take back? I just did.

 

I blasted on Facebook that my current weight is 225lbs and that I am in a weight loss challenge with a group of 10 other contestants. Let me assure you that no one, NO ONE has ever been told my weight. And suddenly here I am sharing that horrible number with the entire world (well my friends and colleagues and acquaintances).

 

I felt humiliated and embarrassed but you know what? Everyone's got eyes! They can see I am not at my fittest.

 

So why did I do it? Well it is simple:

 

The prize is $1000 so I plan to win. Posting my weight gives me accountability and a support system.

 

And more than that, I want to feel better. Do I want to get skinny? NO! Do I want to loose my delicious curves? Heck no! I just want to climb stairs and not feel like I just ran a mile. I want to go shopping and see a cute dress or blouse and know that it will fit. I'm sick of feeling like crap all the time.

 

So I posted my weight of 225lbs. And I can't take it back.

 

And I don't want to.

So what is one act of bravery you would like to do this week? One you can't take back? Now go do it!
