Probably a question more for target members really??
When I started SW I didn't have a goal in mind for my target - just wanted to shift some weight for my holiday (in about 3 weeks time). Anyway - I set myself a challenge on the Happy for Holiday thread so I would have lost 3 1/2 stone - last night I got my award from group for just that
I am now weighing in at 10 stone 8 & am happy with my loss of course but carn't help think - oh i want a few more lb's off yet !!
People are asking me about my loss saying they think I am looking really lovely as I am & that I really shouldn't loose anymore weight now - but I see myself & think, oh yeah I want more shifted from here & a little bit from there.
I have been thinking about this for a few weeks & from the start have thought that once my weight loss steadies - ie I maintain for a few weeks then i'd take it as my bodies way of saying - yep i'm at target. But as i'm still having losses then for me I am not there yet.
I don't see myself as "skinny" by any means - yet the woman at college are going on about my legs being really skinny - last week I was main topic of conversation!! At group each week - i get people on to me saying surely you can't have much more to loose now - you are fine as you are, you should take target etc.
I do worry sometimes that I maybe getting slightly obsessed with weight loss & maybe i'll never be really happy with my weight.
So for those of you who are - & those that have gotton to target - how did you know that's where you wanted to be??
(sorry for the huge ramble btw!! x)
