Setting Specific Goals

Day 10 - No Bingeing

This is the reality of what I look like at 135 pounds. It may not look too too bad to some folks, but I am only 5"1 and I am uncomfortable at this weight. Many of my clothes do not fit. I am posting a photo to remind myself how I look and feel. Sometimes I tend to fool myself mentally. "I'm not that big. Most people wouldn't consider me fat."  But all the while I neglect to recall that it makes me miserable.


Yesterday I posted a list of 10 Pitfalls of Change. Today I am going to focus on the first pitfall, which is "being vague about what you want". To avoid this pitfall, I will get specific about what I want. 

I want to feel happy about my weight. I want to feel skinny. I want to look my best and feel more confident. I want to enjoy getting dressed in the morning. Most of all, I want to be a healthy role model for my daughter Emily.

I want plan to.....
  • completely stop bingeing
  • lose 5 pounds by my NYC Trip  8/8/11
  • hold weight steady during week in NYC
  • lose 8 pounds before school starts  9/6/11
  • lose 10 pounds by October 10/1/11
  • lose 13 pounds by November 11/1/11
  • lose 15 pounds by December 12/1/11
  • maintain my weight loss
