I have a confession to make.
Because I'm an extreme yo-yo dieter (this is my 8th time losing weight) and because I'm a binge eater (former binge eater? yes - former!!) THIS TIME has been a very slow weight loss for me (which hopefully means I'll maintain forever & not gain it back THIS TIME ) and because I'm older now (48... not the spring chicken I was at 42 or even 32... or 22... gulp!) I have listed my goal weight as 140. My last "low weight" after 8 months of dieting & considerable working out was 138, and that was 6 years ago. My goal was 135 - I missed it by 3 lb before I started gaining again (a whole nother' story!!!)
Here's my confession... I really want my goal weight to be 125. But I'm terrified that I JUST.CAN'T.DO.IT. I don't think I can get down to 125. Or even 130! So I've made my goal weight 140 and just hope/pray/fingers-crossed that I can reach 140 & then maintain it. Will I be happy at 140? I hope so; after all, it's only 2 lb higher than my last low weight. But the one thing I DON'T WANT TO DO? - OBSESS! I want to get to a healthy weight, be happy, maintain it, stop the insanity.
Can I do it? oh dear goddess I hope so!
Do you have any "confessions"?
