Weekly Summer of Weight Loss Challenge:
SOWL CHALLENGE
Well, well...to be brutally honest, like Kerrie admitted on her blog, I too initially have those shallow motivators. Like, wanting to look good in my jeans...more so, a bathing suit! And, YES, these types of shallow motivators do help get the job done; but, I honestly am also motivated to lose the weight healthfully so that it doesn't have to be a constant struggle in the future. I want my kids to know what it is to be healthy, and in a GOOD way! I WANT to be here to see my kids get married, and have kids, and do all the things that I have done in life. I want to be here to see them succeed and be happy in life! I whole heartedely feel that if I do this in a healthy way, that I will change my life for the better and not constantly be struggling with the "weight issue".
What makes you think twice about buying that suitcase full of Peanut M&M's at Costco?
I always contemplate buying things like this at Costco, but knowing that it will most likely be ME that will eat them all, makes me say "HELL NO!" Even when I go to the grocery store, I buy pre-baked cookies for my husband and kids lunches, I end up eating most of them! Go figure!
Anywho, that was the challenge this week; to ponder your real motivators for losing weight and being healthy. What are yours?
p.s. I have fallen behind this week on my weigh-in...I will update the challenge hopefully tonight! But since last week was a big loss, I am not expecting ANYTHING!

I stopped buying the peanut butter filled pretzels at Costco for that very reason...I eat most of them. But they sure are yummy. A treat once in a while is good but control is a hard thing for me sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI like this SOWL challenge here. And, I like the layout of this blog--super cute!
ReplyDeleteKerrie T at Mom vs Marathon is doing the SOWL challenge...Asha, you should hop on board!
ReplyDelete@Lisa, control is the hard part. Shoot, we had a ton of left over cupcakes from my birthday and I kept eating them (mostly the frosting) ;) so I seriously threw the rest away...I just couldn't have them in the house anymore!
