Think I SHOULD go skydiving!!!

So about a year ago I was asked by my friend to go skydiving. I was really excited, but knew they had a weight limit. I said yes and when the time got closer I backed out. I weighed around 250. The weight limit was 240. I called them and asked how strict they were on that weight. They said if you are only a few pounds over you SHOULD be fine. SHOULD?! No thanks. I was not about to drive to Vegas only to get there and them tell me I am too fat to go. My friend tried to convince me and said "it SHOULD be fine." maybe I could wear short and flip flops so I weigh less. I felt bad, but there is no way I was going to chance i on a "SHOULD be fine." So I didn't go. I was upset that I let myself get that big and upset that I flaked out at the last minute. So, now that I have lose some weight I am thinking I SHOULD go skydiving!

LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN

ONLY SEVEN MORE DAYS left in the competition. .....Then what? When I started this competition my goal was to lose twenty pounds. I won't lie, I didn't think it would happen. I found myself saying I should have made it a goal to lose ten, that's more realistic. I have found out a lot about myself when doing this competition and here's just a small list. 1. I can do things if I put my mind to it. I am shocked how well I've done. not to pat myself on the back, Well actually, yeah to pat myself on the back. I have kick butt at this competition. (this will come into play a little lower on my list) 2. Losing weight is all consuming. I think about it right when I wake up and the last thing or close to the last thing I think of when I go to bed. 3. I can trick myself into things. Let me explain. I sometimes tell myself that I will just go for a short walk even if it's only 15 minutes. Once I get going I always go longer. 4. I don't have to eat everytime I'm bored, sad, mad, excited, nervous, right before I go to bed, when I want to hang out with people, because I can, etc. etc. 5. This competition has been good and Bad. Good becuase it helps to have to have accountability to someone and has helped me lose weight, but bad because I have found myself question people's honesty and I hate not trusting people and hate even more that it has made me be so competitive that I think people will actually cheat to win. (if you know me at all, you know I hate the word "hate" but I really Hate the bad things that have come from this competition. 6. That it is not normal or good to eat so much that I am uncomfortable and want to throw up to feel better. Wow, that is a sign of a FATTY. That is just a few things I have learned, but I am sure there is many more, but I done typing. I am laughing thinging that I typed this, because this started out being a blog that only I was going to read and I know a few people look at this. Oh well, what do you do.? So my question is What next? Do I try to join another competition to help me lose more weight, do I continue on this blog, do I gain it all back and call myself a FATTY for life, any suggestions would be great.
