Well I have not had a bad week..a few too many carbs on a couple of days, but did not break the calorie barrier.
Yesterday however I saw a photo of myself that someone else had taken. I just about fell over backwards. I looked huge, in an outfit that I thought was pretty sliming. I think a weight issue I have is that I don't see myself as big as I am and it does not help when I tell people what my goal is and they look at me like I am crazy.
I have to get to 180 pounds just to be out of the obese catagory for someone of my height. So I don't think 160 as a goal is that far off the mark...Yes the last time I weighed 160 I was a 6th grader, but I really want to go into my 50's without the threat of overweight health issues, and I was just as tall as a 6th grader as I am now.
Now that I have actually SEEN a photo of myself, I am so shocked. I know what I look like does not completely define me, but how could I have been so clueless.....And why the hell does this make me want to eat? You would think it would have the opposite affect.
I have now stuck with this weight loss plan longer than any other I have attempted in 20 years. Maybe all these things come out after 4 months...I hope I can work my way through this...

Aw, I can relate as I know it was seeing photo's of myself that gave me my own reality check and the motivation to lose. I still find it quite hard to look back at old photo's -- the photo that really made me want to lose, still brings tears to my eyes. I think photo's can be one of the hardest things to face, but really would suggest taking them at say 10lb milestones as you drop down. I found it quite motivational to have a visual record of how I was transforming... how you will change IS quite amazing! Ignore those "crazy" looks that friends might be giving you though if you tell them your goal. You just keep striving for what you want... you're doing great, so keep up the fantastic work! ;o)
