Feeling kind of reflective this morning. When you are fat and constantly dieting, every holiday is a possible milestone. I really can't count the number of times I've said "I will lose X number of pounds by this day (Labor Day, Christmas, New Year's, my birthday, etc.)" and have then gotten completely disheartened when I failed to make a ridiculous goal.
Now I want to make my goal eating right and eating well and I'll let the weight come off when I get the surgery. I still, however, am falling prey to the mental game of "I will lose 40 pounds by Christmas." Which isn't all bad, unless I let the fact that I will not lose that much by that date get me in a bad head space. THAT is the trap I am trying to avoid!
I wonder how many people fall into the same trap?
