Still at 147...wanted 145 before Valentine's Day...not there, yet!
Wrapped up in a society of new and now, it's difficult to frame things in "not yet."
Here's a short version (ha!) of Carol Dweck's ideas on the power of "Yet."

Her work on Growth mindset is an extension of the different beliefs people have about Ability:
1) Entity folks: Ability is an innate trait, it does not change with effort, you either "have it or you don't," and in fact, working hard and putting in effort is evidence that you lack it! (this is related to more maladaptive motivational patterns)
2) Incremental folks: Ability is a function of effort, it goes as effort goes, hard work is the only way to improve. (obviously the more healthy of the 2)
Dweck has shown that these beliefs underlie our motivated behavior. Her research mainly is with middle grades students, but you see they principles apply to adults making lifestyle changes.
See the longer version here.
