I have been tossing this idea in my head for a while but I decided to go with it today. I always thought that if I could stop being stupid and just make better choices, all the time and every time, I could make all my wildest dreams come true. Well maybe just lose weight and not gain it back. No weird fad diets, no craziness... just the opposite in fact. The Opposite Diet is born! The goal is to do the opposite of what my natural instincts and inclinations tell me to do. So I want to eat two cupcakes? Do the opposite! So I want to stay in bed instead of rising early for a run? Do the opposite! I wanted to call this the "Don't be stupid diet" but I thought I wouldn't beat myself up more than I have to.
Tomorrow begins day one. I have set myself up for success. I have a support text-buddy, "Elle" we'll call her, rewards determined for the first 4 goals reached, determination to only weigh myself weekly, and a half marathon to run in 2.5 months. Tomorrow begins day one of just plain not being stupid.
I don't even want to post my beginning weight, so i will just count down the goal:
80 pounds remaining.
