According to my scales this morning, I have lost 3st!! 3st!! Wooo hoooo! I doubt the scales at LL with say this though, although last week I got weighed at Xst 4lb, so even if they show Xst 13lb, 6lb is a big loss for me. WOOO HOOOOOO!! I am the lightest I've been in years.
I have decided to set some goals. Not LL 'SMART' goals that mangle my mind and get me in a strop but goals that mean something to me. I want to have goals that range from the short term to the long term. I think if you are constantly striving for something that's a year away you'll get bored - or at least, I will. I have difficulty in seeing the long term. Hell, I have difficulty seeing this weekend.
So here goes, here are some goals. I will try and update when I think of more etc:
To be a size 10
To be able to go into New Look and not have to shop in the plus size section (so I need to be a size 18)
To have someone call me thin
To have someone see a picture of fat me and say they don't even recognise me
To go to Alton Towers and fit on the big rides
To cross my legs and look good - not like I'm doing some kind of self torture
To lose 100lb
To fit in my old prom dress
So, where am I on these goals:
To be a size 10 No where near. Not even worth thinking about.
To be able to go into New Look and not have to shop in the plus size section (so I need to be a size 18)
Not that far off. Give it a few more months. Maybe by Christmas?
To have someone call me thin Not gonna happen anytime soon.
To have someone see a picture of fat me and say they don't even recognise me Let's forget about this one for a while.
To go to Alton Towers and fit on the big rides Well, I want to go for my birthday and considering my inch loss (which hasn't been measured since week 5 but was 2/12 bust 3 waist 3 1/2 hips), I reckon I could do it. My birthday isn't for a month anyway and you know how much a lighterlifer loses in a month! =)
To cross my legs and look good - not like I'm doing some kind of self torture I saw myself doing this in a mirror yesterday and I couldn't get over how immense my legs are. When they are crossed they look like uncooked sausages. I mean, I'm glad I can cross them at all but certainly wouldn't do it in public yet.
To lose 100lb on the Lighterlife programme I have lost 42lb on LL (using my weight this morning) but my weight loss from Christmas is 63lb. Hmm, let's make it more specific - let's say to lose 100lb on Lighterlife (my counsellor would be proud).
To fit in my old prom dress I think I was around the 11st mark back then, so I've got a few months to go. I'd say maybe around January/February time.
So let's give these babies time scales so we can check my progress:
To be a size 10 April 2009 To be honest I'm not sure about this one because I don't know what size I was to start off with. I can revise it if necessary, I guess.
To be able to go into New Look and not have to shop in the plus size section (so I need to be a size 18)
December 2008
To have someone call me thin March/April 2009
To have someone see a picture of fat me and say they don't even recognise me April 2009
To go to Alton Towers and fit on the big rides October 2009
To cross my legs and look good - not like I'm doing some kind of self torture January 2009
To lose 100lb on the Lighterlife programme March 2009
To fit in my old prom dress January/Febuary 2009
Wow, so I guess some of them were smart goals after all - but the good thing about them was that they were organic, not forced. These are things I have mulled over for a few days, not absent mindedly scrawled in my foundation book after three minutes consideration.
Yay, it feels good to know that I am going to achieve these things.
It feels good to know I'm gonna get my 3st Kitten soon! =)
