Eye on the goal

[bettyboo]

Today I was thinking about my new car. I test drove it yesterday. I will be getting it in the middle of March next year (on order now)..........Am I prepared to wait three months for a car - of course I am. I was prepared to wait 9 months for both of my babies.
Then I got to thinking - time is such a drop in the ocean. My eldest is 4 and 2 months....this time 5 years ago I was 8 weeks pregnant with him. It passed so quickly.

When I think of time like that it seem like nothing to have put my weight on project status. I am my own new baby !!! By the time my new car arrives I will be at least 60lbs lighter......guaranteed to be healthy, fit and with a bouncing BMI !!! The car is now going to be my reward.

Baby goals along the way every four weeks........

In 9 months time I will be reborn (so to speak)
Maybe this is a weird way of thinking about it but its certainly helping me when I get bogged down in the passage of time and wanting results NOW today !!

well done bettyboo! im looking at probably around a year - a year and a half to lose my 12 stone, just going tothink of it now as a super long pregnancy....WELL DONE YOU, SMART THINKING!!

I have a similar "thought". I like gardening, and growing plants from cuttings and seeds is a great pleasure of mine. I look at the diet as sowing seeds or taking cuttings. The flowers WILL come in a few months IF you look after the baby plants. (showing my age now!!!)

Hi Bettyboo,

I treated myself to a new car (to me ) as a reward for doing well.

Goal setting is crucial to the journey as it does give you a direction to aim for.

Are you going to tell us what kind of car your getting

Love Mini xxx

oooh how fab! and you will definitely lose that 10lbs by Christmas! Great plan.. I saw this journey as being similar to pregnancy... not in quite the same way as you, but I love your thinking!!
