Happy New Year & New Special Goal

Jan 05, 2014

I have a new "special goal" I am hoping to get to. I now weigh 211.4 lbs, and I'm hoping to get down to under 200 lbs. I am not putting a time limit on it, as my weight loss currently is back and forth (my own fault), but I know I will get there. Hopefully before or by my birthday on May 16th. It sounds like a long time to "hope" to lose 12 lbs by May. That's months away.

I need to get back on track. I know I am eating too much to lose the weight like I want, but I am having a hard time stopping. I mostly have problems with eating at night. I need to really work on that. I have heard suggestions from my WW group and such, but I just can't buckle down and do it. I need to rearrange my eating schedule entirely, so that I am not so peckish at night. I need to ask on the boards here too. Maybe they will have some ideas.

I had a great Christmas. Got several new clothes, as I have lost more weight. That is how I reward myself when I reach a mini goal...I buy clothes, or something that makes me feel pretty. That sounds so silly, but it really works for me. Certainly better than buying a cake, right?

My mom is having problems maintaining her goal weight. She eats at night too, but she also snacks on a lot of candy. I don't know how she doesn't gain more! I guess it is because she is so active. I am not at my goal yet, and I snack at night too, but lately I have not been eating very much of that sort of food. I know I'm moving slowly, but I am still losing weight. (I also know if I tried harder I would probably lose more-but I've been pretty lazy.)

No matter what though, I KNOW I CAN DO IT!!!! I've lost 232.6 lbs so far, and I would like to lose at least 300. AND I CAN DO IT!!! I may be slow, but I WILL get there!
