I set some mini goals this morning (thanks lstpaul :flowerforyou: ) - not very aggressive but since I have only gained over the past year and a half it will be a huge accomplishment to start going in the right direction. I don't think I've set goals like this since I first started.
mini goal 3/31/12 - 190
mini goal 4/30/12 - 187
mini goal 5/31/12 - 184
I was as low as 179 a year and a half ago - it felt really good too. I remember saying oh - I can't have that... lately it's been ah - a little bit won't hurt. Well... it didn't help! Food to live, not live for food - need to get that in my head again.

Goldk - I think the last 6 months I have been telling myself 'a little bit won't hurt' more and more often each week and it is showing on the scale. We can get back into focus with this, and we need to say 'I CAN'T HAVE THAT' ... more often - it does hurt and you are right that it isn't worth it. I think when I was having success there were foods that I really looked at as 'poison' for me - and that was a good way to look at them. I need to get that attitude back.I was as low as 179 a year and a half ago - it felt really good too. I remember saying oh - I can't have that... lately it's been ah - a little bit won't hurt. Well... it didn't help! Food to live, not live for food - need to get that in my head again.0 -
