Couldn't bear it anymore not weighing myself. Only managed 3 days! Had lost 2lbs, which means I have hit my next target - I am back in the 15's!
Has been a hard day for some reason, lots of negative feelings. But I feel better now. Did have that little voice in my head a couple of times trying to push me to stop. But he's gone now. Good job too as my packs arrived today. I'm not very busy at work, so finding it harder to distract myself. Probably what gets me thinkng so much.
Anyway, I have a thought for the day which should help me. You have to set the right goals.
There are 2 schools of thought with goals.
1) Set your end goal and focus on it.
2) Set a long series of mini goals.
Only setting an end goal, is probably the worst thing you can do - it means you focus only on the end result and makes for a very long process. You don't take pleasure in the smaller goals.
You'd think option 2 would deal with that. But does it? I realised today, despite all my mini goals, I stil spend 90% of my time thinking about the end goals.
So, I've decided. The only goal I will think about is my next goal (of each type). I have 3 types. Weight, Trousers and shirts.
So I only have 3 goals just now.
1) To get to 220lbs (meaning I've lost 110lbs)
2) To get into 40" trousers.
3) To get into 17" collar shirts.
I know I have tons of other goals but for now, these are the next ones I am aiming to reach and I will think only of them. I will celebrate tyhem, then I will replace them. Wish I'd thought of this sooner.
