FUNCURLS FOOD DIARY, BLOG and CHIT CHAT!! New target set!!

[funcurls]

I wish I were as patient as you, my goal is 1.8lbs a week - I want to be able to wear my wedding dress (see sig pic) on my 40th birthday next April, so I am currently ahead of my goal. You however, have lost so much already and are so close to your goal, I've got approx 3.5stones to go, when I say that it seems so hard, so i focus on smaller goals like 1/2 stone, 1 stone, 10% etc

I think you have hit the nail on the head - it is about heating healthily and a new attitude towards food, as my Mum's friend says, "I eat food to live, not live to eat food".

Good luck, will pop in more often if that ok?

Pop in whenever you like hun, it's a pity I haven't got a cyber kettle! I'd make us a cuppa!! I suppose when you've got a big event (your 40th) to aim for, there IS that timescale to work to, so the pressure is increased that much more! I haven't got any particular thing to aim for- When I started in October 2009 I said I wanted to lose it by Christmas 2010. This is acheivable, but it will be a struggle as I get closer, so I've now moved it to my 34th Birthday (March 2011) just to take the pressure off myself. But you can certainly do it! You're average is safe and realistic- and you want to be able to make it a life-long change as well, so it's important not to burn yourself out with it all! Although I stick to the plan, I would probably see faster losses if I cut down my portion sizes a bit, but I've got such a good appetite, I'll end up feeling short changed if I do that!! Speak soon, HX
