SHRINKING


So 37 lbs down here.
Getting there.
At WW they ask you to pick a goal. I was about at that point now. Picking a weight goal was something i was not willing to do. For me, to sit and tell someone i want to loose 50lbs is discouraging. 50lbs is hard. 50lbs is soo far away. But i will tell you something, i will loose 2lbs by next week...
That is how i did it. Little goals. I want to loose 5lbs by my birthday. I want to loose 2 lbs by this time next week. 10lbs by camping season. If you set your goals small to start with than you will not get discouraged. People say set your goals high. "Aim for the stars" which may work for them, but when it comes to weightloss saying "I want to loose 75lbs" feels almost impossible!!
As i reached and surpassed my little goals every week it felt impowering. I shared with whomever would listen. EVERYBODY knew i was watching my weight and doing WW so when i was invited to a BBQ or a birthday party or for dinner there was always healthy choices.
