Hey guys, I am not sure if anyone can relate, but I would love to hear your thoughts.
I graduated high school around 200 lbs, so when I started, I had no idea what I'd look like less then 190, which was my all-time low adult weight before this year.
I initially had a goal weight of 175. I think I subconsciously picked this because I didn't want to admit to myself that I needed to lose 100 lbs. 90 lbs seemed like much less? I don't know, anyway, by 200 I had changed it to 165 because I WANT to lose 100 lbs.
Now as I am approaching 165, I think I want to go to 155. But I don't really want to change my goal weight. I want to celebrate 165 as goal, and not as a mini-goal of 100 lbs lost, but I wonder if that's taking the easy way out.
So, now that I know I want to work toward 155, I am wondering if it's a lie to keep my ticker and my reward for my goal weight at 165. And what if I don't make 155? I don't want to feel like a failure.
Any thoughts? Is is better to be more aggressive or conservative with your goal weight?
