I'm now very close to my 1st goal - 10st, which would make me right at the top end of 'normal' as opposed to 'overweight'. Right now i'm feeling over the moon about this. I've lost 18lbs in 4 weeks which i'm thrilled about as i'm finally losing the baby weight but i'm worried that this is false confidence purely because it's better than I have been for the past 8 months rather than the fact I actually look good.
When I first started university I was 8.5st and towards the end of this time I would vary somewhat within the 9st bracket. I was happy enough with 9st but as soon as I would get close to 10st I would feel very down and almost disgusted with myself, just not comfortable in my own skin. I'm only 23 now and a year out of university so these aren't distant dreams. I just cant shake the feeling that I shouldn't be happy being the weight I am now.
I guess i'm mainly worried that i'll lose sight about what i'm aiming for if I become satisfied with a weight which is almost overweight as opposed to one which is truly healthy. How can I keep this in perspective?
