I got on the scale yesterday, and I lost like a half a pound, and I thought to myself, self, that is not very much in a week.
I figure out how much I will lose by the time I am done with the program, and check to make sure that I am on that trajectory. However, a one pound loss in the second week is not going to get me to my projected weight loss. So I adjusted the weight loss for the four months I would be on the program, and came up with a new number.
Problem is I had stated that where I ended up on this last part of the journey is where I would stay. But if I only lose 20 pounds, will I really be able to wrap my head around the idea that I won't be at that elusive weight goal? Will I accept the weight and go from there or will I get back on the merry go round?
I do have four months to figure out how I will accept the ending weight. And if it is only 20 pounds I lose, I will learn to accept it.

Maybe shoot for 30 rather than 40 if you can live with that? I too am missing goals - much sympathy
ReplyDeleteYes, you will be able to accept it.
