Setting targets
Always, always always, I set targets in my head.
Only small targets but they usually relate to ........"if I could lose one pound per week, then I could lose this much by that time" ect ect ect
One pound a week is not a lot to lose but the consequence of losing one pound per week soon adds up eh?
And one pound a week is four or five pounds a month
So at the beginning of this year I set myself a target for my birthday, one pound a week would get me to a better place and help me to feel better about myself by the time of my birthday at the end of March.
So why is it that two months down the line I have only achieved just under five pounds loss when it should be double that?
Yesterday I went to Next to get a new outifit for a girls night out this weekend and had to relent to buying size 14 trousers. I always buy size 12s in Next but something told me to try both sizes on. OK, so they both fit but the 12s gave me no room for manourve so I took the decision to buy the 14s and now I am not happy, as I shouldnt be doing that, I shouldnt be giving up and wearing a bigger size. I should be eating healthily and losing that one pound a week.
I now have just over four weeks to my birthday and am absolutely determined to be four pounds lighter by that time, that will take me to a place where I know I will feel physically better about myself.
Before we know it, its going to be t-shirt weather and I dont want to feel ashamed in t-shirt weather, I want to be going about my business not worrying about my weight and worrying about my fat.
So here goes-I can do it, its not a lot to ask myself is it?
