- 11 lbs
- 4 inches from my waist & hips
- & my lack of enthusiasm for moving forward
Really, I feel more determined every day to keep this going. I feel like I'm doing it the right way, for the right reasons & I'm not letting negativity or disappointment dictate what I put in my body. It's so freeing. I know it will be a long time until I get it all off, but it's coming off, ounce by ounce, day by day, 1 good choice at a time. I have had more road blocks than I thought imaginable in the last 18 days, but writing has helped me through them. Knowing that if I mess up I'm accountable to way more than myself has kept me going so many times already. They say if you can make it through the first month, a habit is developed & it's easier from there. I'm gonna make it to one month & breeze on by.
I've been contemplating setting goals so that I can keep pushing myself forward & I'd like to set up a few specifics that are broad enough that I don't beat myself up if I don't quite make it on time & that are specific enough that it's a bit of a stretch. If I, as recommended by most diet plans, lose 1-2 lbs a week for the rest of the year, I'll have lost around 30-50 additional lbs by the end of 2012. Thus my goals are as follows:
- 25lb total weight loss by my birthday in October
- 50lb total weight loss by New Year's Eve
Now the exciting question is: HOW DO I REWARD MYSELF IF I GET THERE?!
Today I feel:
You should go shopping or buy one thing special thing that you have wanted for a long time!!!
