My goals as of 6/22/2008
lose 146 pounds (one entire person) 285-146=139 pounds
146 pounds / 18 months = 8.2 pounds per month which is totally doable, right? Break that down even more and that's 2.05 pounds per week
this is 100% in my capacity to do! I can literally reach my goal of losing weight by the time I turn 21 and can officially serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
HOW AWESOME IS THIS?!?!?!?!
I really need to just tell myself that it's in my capacity to SUCCEED not fail.
I am doing SO WELL! I eat healthy foods in health amounts. I don't feel stuffed, I feel satisfied. (in more ways than one) :) I'm so glad that I have goals that I can set for myself that I can actually achieve. I'm not hoping to succeed, I WILL!
I just also have to remember that no matter what I weigh, no matter what I look like and regardless of what anybody thins/says/what I think about myself, God will ALWAYS love me and knows that I am a person of infinite worth with divine nature.
When I actually sat down and figured this out mathematically, I cried. breaking it down to 8 pounds a month made my goals a reality as opposed to a dream and something I can just hope will happen someday. That "someday" is today. I don't think that weighing myself daily is really going to do me any good, so I'm limiting it to once a week. Sundays. Because my Sabbaths are a day that I like to use to self-reflect, that would also be a good day for a weigh-in. You know, I think that as I continue to put myself first, I will also be able to reach out even farther out of myself. I know that sounds a bit contradictory, but really, I cant fully help others until 'm squared away with my own stuff.
