Lose 7 pounds

I got off track AGAIN, and now I need to lose 4 lbs.
I wish I could just keep losing weight instead of flip-flopping like this.

Got off track for a little bit there, but I’m back on track and only have 1 more pound to go!

i’m back on track for this. i’m at 145. goal is 140.

Only 3 more pounds to go!

Not exercising regularly.

I MUST put an end to that and make daily exercise a part of my life.

No exceptions!

Because i feel that i am kinda fat, and my stomach is like sticking outish??? idk it repulses me.

I lost 2 pounds so far!

I’m counting calories. I’m doing some exercise, but need to step that up.

I was 168.5 this morning. Pretty soon I’ll be back to the weight I was when I set this goal – THEN lose seven pounds. :-P

I’ll be absolutely thrilled to be back at 158. (this goal).

Whenever I feel hungry – that gets me closer. Every time I exercise it brings me closer.

to “Get Back to 158”.

Because I’ve been in a weight gain mode and was at a high of 171 just shortly after my visit with the doctor.

I’ve pinged between … lose a pound a week (oh that’s horribly discouraging .. it’ll take A YEAR to lose all the weight) and oh just lose the weight slowly and reasonably => all the while gaining more weight.

A high of 171 is pretty terrible. I was (and am) feeling pretty terrible about it.

I’m 169.5 right now and thinking that the slow, steady never gain it back again is the way to go. So what if it takes me a year? This problem was more than a year in the making and I have to re-do my life. I’ve been doing these bad habits so long they’ve become me. I can’t just “go back to the old me”. I’ve been this me for too long.

I’d rather keep it off and take a year – than go fast and gain it back.

My goal right now is to eat well today and exercise one hour. We’ll talk about it again tomorrow. For now, I’m just going to do today correctly – and then celebrate when I do.

Eat well means eat a correct amount of food that is good for me. No calorie counting. No eating crap just becaue it’s there or I am stressed.

I’ve obviously developed some terrible habits and I’ve been doing this too long to just go back to the way I was without some serious work.

In the past, I never ate food when I was stressed. I do now. I now see how dangerous that is.

I used to think that it was impossible for me to get fat – yet here I am : fat. For decades I heard, “You can eat whatever you want and you never gain any weight”. And it was true! That became the way I thought about myself.

So, this “lose 7 pounds” goal is actually “lose 12 pounds” because that’s how far away I am from 158.

158 is my first milestone.

There will be a reward at 158.

My next milestone is 152.

There will be a reward at 152.

I’m down to 141 (from 146), I’m hoping to have this one finished in the next couple of days. The only problem then is keeping it off…
