Hey guys! I’m not much for weekend posting, but I’ll make an exception tonight since I want to let you know how Day 1 of the Habit Changer program went.
So, if you checked out the program – it explains that you will get e-mail and text message updates periodically throughout the day. I signed up for the maximum amount of text messages, two instead of one… I need the encouragement! 
Today I was asked to focus on the reasons why I want to lose weight. I actually did have to think about this. My “homework” for Day 1 was to complete a list of at least 5 reasons why I want to lose weight. Here’s my list:
“Reasons Why”
1. I want to be healthy
2. I don’t want to be considered obese
3. I want to live a long life
4. I want confidence
5. I want to be more than just a “pretty face”
6. I don’t always want to feel like the biggest one in the room
7. I want to feel sexy
8. I don’t want to be the “fat friend”
9. I want to shop in the regular section – not plus size
10. I want to prove that I can do it
11. I DESERVE IT!!!
So, there ya have it. That’s my list. The “homework” also instructs me to post my list several places I will see it each day. While I haven’t posted it anywhere yet… I am going to put one on my bathroom mirror. One on the visor in my car. One on the fridge. One on my desk at work. One in my purse. One to carry in my pocket. And we’ll see if it ends up anywhere else.
One day down… 41 to go! I’m actually really looking forward to see what Day 2 will bring.
Chat soon!
Anyone else following the program? Let me know how it went for you!
PS – I had signed up for the Habit Changer Program on the 1st of January… little did I know, the day I signed up would be considered “Day Zero” That’s why I technically didn’t start getting texts/e-mails until today. I wanted to start Day 1 on January 1 – didn’t work that way, so obviously, going forward, my “Habit Changer day” will be 1 day behind the day of the month we’re on (ex: Jan 2 = Habit Changer Day 1… and so on)… oh well!
