I tried to make a list of weight loss goals earlier and wound up completely overwhelming myself. Realizing I'm going to still be losing in 6 months is pretty scary, overwhelming, and discouraging. On the other hand, I had to eat my whole life to get to this weight, it only makes sense that I'll have to spend a good portion of time losing it, and the rest of my life keeping it off. I just have to keep thinking about the benefits and why I'm doing this. So instead of setting a huge goal, I'm setting a mini one. I want to get below 300 pounds by Thanksgiving. That's about 37 pounds, in about 8 weeks. So a bit less than 5 pounds a week. I just have to stick to it, no matter how hard it is. It can only get easier, right?
