redwinelover's Journal, 08 June 2010

I wish this number was a 141.2 instead. its been a long time since I've been there, but it always seemed as though once I got below 140, I didn't look "fat", just that I could lose a few pounds. I know I'm just getting impatient. pretty sure that by this time next week, I should be in the 140's. I need to celebrate all the milestones, big and small.
151.2 lb Lost so far: 23.8 lb.    Still to go: 26.2 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

I am really impatient also. I can't let myself think about how much I still have to lose. I have to focus on each success.

Redwinelover, we all have that same problem. I keep wishing that I was below the 200 mark. That one is a real biggie for me. But as you said is so important to celebrate each success, whether big or small!! So, in that vein, congratulations on all your successes. You are doing awesome!

Andrea, I, too, have a very hard time looking at the big picture. It is like weeding the garden, when it seems like a never ending task. As my sister often says, "How do you eat an elephant????? One bite at a time!!"

Thanks, you two. I know what I have to do - just isn't always so easy, right? Maybe we should keep a journal of our mini successes to encourage us to stay on the path. (trying to think of a recent success here.... ..... Oh! My daughter said I could "totally wear a bathing suit"! Of course, she loves me and she's seen where I've been, too, so a bit biased. But that's still a success, right? Every step closer has to be seen that way. Thanks for the reminder that I'm not alone in my impatience : )

Hey D - I can't believe it, we're catching up again haha what a great race! But I'm stuck too, really stuck... I wish I could see 148! A little victory would be nice. Glad to see you're on a losing track though! And I can see just from your tone that it's making you feel good! We will need to chat more soon but I wanted to drop in and say hey!! *hugs*

The dieting gurus warn about "plateaus" and it seems like I've been on one for weeks. I'm desperate to see the needle on 60kgs but it obstinately fluctuates between 61 and 62.5. However we do need to concentrate on the positive, and enjoy those looser clothes. We WILL get there.

Good hearing from you SQ. I was so afraid I'd lost you! Persevere, woman...you're worth it! Ruby - I hear you on the plateaus. I may be having another one, but I'm hoping not. Seems like I've been on a plateau since I started this. Maybe I'm backwards! And yep, seeing that stupid needle move has lifted my spirits. Ridiculous, isn't it? How can I let something like that determine how I feel!?? But for the moment, it's good, so I'll stop bitching : ).
