Slipped a bit
Had one of those weeks. I used my no weigh in pass last week because I really didn’t want to step on that scale. I’m proud to say however that this week I’m back on track - though I have yet to step on my personal scale to see my progress. But I’m ok with whatever it is.
I think that being so close to 10% freaked me out. I’m ok with small goals but the thought of having to determine my final goal weight made me feel like I’m setting myself up for failure. I know that I can keep setting the mini goals, just like I’ve been doing. But, it was daunting. All of my insecurities come out and really affected me last week.
But I’m ready to push forward. I AM doing this - I don’t need a goal that’s 60lbs away to freak me out. I’ll just keep taking it 1lb at a time, meeting my 5lb goals and heading towards filling my book up with those stickers.

You can do it!!! Don’t worry about making your 10% goal- just talk with your leader about setting another smaller goal instead of your final weight- I have done it before… I did another 10%- That is what I am doing now that I made my 10% last week- You will get that 10% keychain in no time!!

Thanks Tracy! I actually got it this week - I just needed to get out of my own way.
It’s so hard to pick a number in a 30 lb range when I can’t remember ever even being those numbers!!! The lowest I remember was 175 and that was so long ago I couldn’t even say what I looked like at that!!!

Yeah!!! I knew you would do it!! Did you decide to do another 10% or pick a final goal?
