Hello and
on your new baby!!
Yes, 150 pounds can seem like a huge number... but it really helps to have mini goals and even mini tickers. Perhaps you have a special item of clothing in a slightly smaller size you want to get back into... or something to accomplish. Make it something small... LOL for example I am very happy that I can now get up off of a toilet seat when there is nothing to hold onto without having to figure out how in the world I am going to do this!
Someone else posted in the forum... sorry I can't remember who and don't mean to steal her idea.. an idea which has helped me. She suggested taking a fine point permanent marker and writing the number of pounds to your next mini goal on the inside of your wrist, very small, where you can see it easily. For example, I am now one pound away from losing 70 pounds so this morning I will put a "1" on my wrist as a reminder. When I am tempted to eat something I don't need I can glance at that "1" and remember I want to make it!!
Get yourself a great plan and stick with it! You can do this!
