Ok, so by this time, everyone has probably already weighed in and has either been happy or pissed about the results. So, probably either way, everybody is excited about the NEXT weigh-in; those who saw the scale go up are ready to kick ass so that they can have a good weigh-in next Thursday (anger is very motivating for me anyway), and those who saw the scale go down are probably all revved up wanting to see it go down more. I know for me, I thinking, man I would love to beat what I did THIS week. So, the energy is all up, all around. I can feel it as I type this.
which leads me to say...
I think this challenge was a great idea, and it has really been motivating for me. There really IS something about being accountable, about having to publicly make a statement about what happened to you in the past week. Photocrazed talked about the peanut butter thing, how this challenge helped her resist it, and I am sure lots of other people had similar experiences. It really made me happy to read about people's experiences with how this challenge made them rise to the occasion when push came to shove.
I think that the collective will of people all striving toward the same goal and supporting one another is a very powerful force; it's the same force that overthrows governments and finds cures for diseases. It's the same force that starts and stops wars, replants forests, and on and on. I am very thankful for this website, the people I have met on here, and this February challenge in particular (the first challenge I have ever completed like this). And it's all free of charge!
so thank you
from the bottom of my heart
and the heart of my bottom.
