End of year resolution

Here it goes... I want to be 158 by the end of the year. I don't want to enter the new year still obese...

I can do it if I work hard at it. And I do think it will be tough. Lose 5 pounds a month... sure, seems simple. But really, I only netted a 5 pound loss from the end of July to now... that's over 3 months.

But if I can get to that point, I feel like I can enter the new year with different goals, not thinking "omg I need to lose 100 pounds" like I did last year.

If I don't get there, no biggie. I will eventually. I don't like having a strict time frame. But it feels like a milestone... I've been obese since middle school! And it would just feel good to make it to that point soon, because I think at that point I can evaluate things a little better (such as an overall goal weight). It would also be cool to say that I went from morbid obesity to just being overweight over the course of... well, less than a year.

It's important for me to look to that point though and remind myself of what I'm aiming for. Remind myself that it's okay to go to bed hungry when I know I've had a good dinner (my stomache's growling now!) because I'd rather do that than go over my points!
