Drastic Measures

What Makes You Motivated to Diet and Exercise?














Living in Arizona in January and February is quite nice; you put a sweater and coat on to walk your dog in the morning, strip down to a bathing suit to layout at noon and by evening, you might need to throw on a sweatshirt to avoid a little chill!

It's also a fun time to be here with all the unique events that occur when we have so many out-of-towners visiting.





One such event is the FBR Open Golf Tournament. It's not one of the truly prestigious tournaments like the Masters but it is known as the largest party and probably the most fun (for the attendees anyway!) of all the tournaments. Last year, just on the Saturday alone, there were 124,000 people who attended. That's more than any of the other tournaments' attendance for a whole week's worth of golf.







What does this have to do with HASAY and dieting, you ask? Well, I'll tell you. The tournament is a huge motivational tool. This event seems to bring out the most beautiful of all beautiful people by the thousands. Every one's game seems to be on. It can be really intimidating, to tell you the truth. (I would take pictures for you, only they are really strict about not letting in cameras or cell phones). And yet, it is making me eat smaller portions last week and this week. And, I am going to the gym or hiking daily. Not that a couple of weeks is really going to help that much, but it's not hurting either. So, thank you FBR Golf tournament for keeping me moving and trying not to be a fatty.













Original HASAY weight: 135 pounds







Current Weight: Still holding at 129 pounds

Seeing all of those skinny women is making me want to learn to binge and purge. I hate being surrounded by people like that, it's not good for my self esteem.

You're still down six pounds, that's great! Keep it up....

Yeah...that would just make me feel old.

But where you find the motivation doesn't matter!

I agree, whatever works to motivate you. I would never even consider attending, I much prefer to think those women don't actually exist. They're a figment of your imagination. Or they're pod people. Congrats on the holding though, you're getting there.
