Ugly duckling going Swan.
Hey everyone. As most of you lovely pound losers know, my original goal was to get to 11st by Christmas. Depsite doing really well, I have started to slow down weight loss wise and suddenly went from being ahead by 4lbs to being behind. I was scared that now I have started to slow down my weight loss, I wouldn't make it and I would cave in and give up. I nearly did yesterday and ate a whole thing of ice cream! It made me sick to my stomach as well.
But then I thought "Hey, I've lost 53lbs. It has taken me years and I am in no rush to go anywhere. I'll still be skinner than I have been for years on my birthday. I'll still be skinnier than I have been for year at Christmas". So I decided to not only extend my goal date, I also decided to lose another stone! I now feel my motivation has returned as I would very much like to go to the beach next summer and not feel like a hippo.
The moral of the story is don't get caught up with time and dates and rushing to lose all the weight in one go. It can harm your motivation rather than do it good. Be happy to take your time and you will get there.
