I am not good at goals, I have tried many times to set goals only not to reach that goal and then I just get discouraged. I use to say to myself, "I am going to loose 20 pounds by ........" and then the time would come and either my body had not cooperated or my mind, heart and stomach were not on the same page and I would have never even tried.
This time I made up my mind that I would not set a time goal, just a weight goal. Having to loose 245 pounds, I chose to take it 50 pounds at a time and just do whatever I had to do and let my body do what it was going to do. I am not saying I haven't set some goals, just none with a time frame.
I am in front of my computer everyday all day long, so I have put some of my goals and motivations on my computer to look at everyday. Time goals are ok for some people but personally they discourage me in the end.
It will come off, with work and patience and if I did not do that well before I weigh in then I will recognize that and know that I have no right to be disappointed if I did not put my full effort into it. I've attached a picture of my computer.
Re: Picture
I am a member of a medieval group so I have two dresses I would love to wear, I have my senior picture when I weighed 125 pounds, I plan to go to Disney World, I am aiming for 145 pounds and the little rock on sticker was given to me by a friend when I first started.
