I have decided to set myself mini goals of 1 stone. I think this will keep me motivated by breaking my 8 stone weight loss goal into manageable chunks and will stop me getting overwhelmed

I have not done this before, which is why I kept giving up and putting all the weight I lost and more back on.

Being victorious in a battle is empowering. Every time I pass up the bakery display window, I've won.
There are many, many opportunities for victories Count up your mini-victories every night it will give you strength.
You know you can, you know you can, you know you can.
Reach that goal.

What is a stone? How many lbs?
