I like having 2 tickers. Maybe I should say I NEED 2 tickers? I don't keep a ticker for it, but I do think in terms of each five pounds, and I love getting to change my little birdie avatar.
And then there is my immediate goal. At first, I sat and calcuated all sorts of different mini-goals that I could list, but ultimately, I decided to stick with each 10%. And of course, there is a built in reward that every time, the amount to get to 10% goes down. Last time, it was 25.5 and I did that. But this time, it's only 23. I *know* I can do that, because of what I've already done. So that's why I keep the long term goal on there too - I need the reminder that I really have come a long way already.
I wonder all the time if I can really lose 100 pounds, but I try not to THINK about it, if that makes any sense at all. Right now, I just need to lose 20.5 more pounds. What happens after that is something I try not to think about right now.
