I'm finding that when someone tells me I can't do something.... I get SUPER motivated!! Anyone with me??

I told my husband I wanted to lose 15-10lbs by Christmas... In a loving way he responded "Good luck with all the delicious foods I make for the holidays!!" & he is an AMAZING cook. We host Thanksgiving every year for my family and they rave about the food all year long. So it will be a challenge..... but I got this. Especially now lol!!!

Quoting Bruno Marz here - " DON'T BELEIVE ME JUST WATCH!!" B)

    Yup. The problem is, whenever someone tells me I MUST do something, I rebel with every fiber of my soul. XD

    Although it helps when people say "oh you must try this dessert" because YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

    LOL I am the same way. I always attributed it up to a Gen X thing but y'all are too young for that :-) My husband has also figured out how this reverse-psychology motivation tool works...

    Good luck with your goal brittgreenlikethecolor88!
