And we're off! As Mish quoted Dr. Seuss this morning: "Congratulations - today is your day - you're off to great places - you're off and away!" I'm so excited that 12WBT has officially started. I've been in the 12WBT mind set for a little while now, but today just feels special :) I made my first 12WBT meal this morning, apple muesli. It was my first time eating muesli too!
To celebrate the official start of the round, I thought I would put my commitment up here for all to see. I made this commitment to some very special people (who are listed) just a couple of weeks ago, on the 23rd May 2012. It took me about 2 hours to write, 1 week to get the courage to, and 15 years to get the knowledge/belief to. It's special to me so I want to share it on here.
MY COMMITMENT:
- To lose 83kg by my 32nd birthday (I have now changed this to Christmas (instead of January))
- To lose 76kg by Christmas (I have now changed this to 83kg)
- To lose 35kg by the end of Round 2 12WBT (I have now changed this to 36kg)
- To reassess these numbers closer to the time if needed from a health point of view
- To give myself the opportunity to be happy within myself again
- To admit to myself that I've been watching life from the sidelines
- To not be perfect
- To stop this 15 year cycle of eating disorders and up and down weight
- To stop emotional eating, overeating and binge eating
- To stick to the rules (mine and Mish's)
- To get back on the ride the next day when I stuff up (I say when, because I am not perfect)
- To feel my emotions and not eat them
- To stop my addiction to food, and to instead treat food as a fuel
- To take pride in my appearance again
- To work on bettering those imperfect areas of my life and bad habits
- To be the best version of myself that I can be
- To do this for life - the weight goals have a timeframed goal that I have committed to, but once I get there, the way that I eat and train will continue
- To run 5km in 2012
- To do my triathlon in 2012
- To run a half marathon or full marathon in 2013
- To put myself first
- To take care of my body
- To not give up
- To stand up again EVERY time I fall
- To stop sabotaging myself
- To keep learning and continually work to better my mindset about food
- To stop drama's in my life equalling an increased calorie intake
- To work my hardest on these goals and my other goals
- To not feel deprived
- To do what needs to be done to make this happen
- To love the good times and just roll with the punches
- To keep on keeping on
- To be honest with myself
- To be kind to myself
- To believe in myself
- To be Super Girl
- To be ok with being scared about this, and to realise that this journey will be hard from time to time, but that is ok and I will get through it, because it is worth it and I am worth it
- I commit this to myself, my supportive family, Mish, my friends and my 30+ crew. But most importantly, to myself
- I commit to and WILL do the work to get me there and to continue.
The journey has begun :)
Love Coco xo
