So I’ve restarted my weight loss journey. I’ve been working on changing my perspective. I’ve always been caught up in how much total weight I need to lose and becoming overwhelmed and “shelving it”. My weight this previous Saturday was 324. Instead of jumping right to “I need to be 180 as soon as possible” I’ve decided to break it up.
Goal 1: 300 Goal 2: 275 Goal 3: 240 Goal 4: 220 Goal 5: 199 (haven’t been here since HS) Goal 6: 180
I don’t have a time frame. I don’t have unreasonable expectations because 2 lbs a week is a lot! I’m sure I could lose more faster, but I want to be kind to myself. This morning I am down to 321 so I’ve already reached my weekly goal which is a huge success for me.
I’m also incredibly lucky to have found a gym that I adore and feel incredibly comfortable in. I don’t care that it took me 9 min this morning to wog (walk/jog) 800m while everyone else did a mile run. I don’t care that I have rolls for days or huff and puff like I’m dying. I don’t care that the work outs are scaled just for me, because I’m there, and I work my ass off. I have yet to run into an unkind person and I’m so grateful to feel at home in a place that is filled with people WAY WAY WAY WAY more fit than me.
It took me 20 years to get to this weight. I know some people that are as heavy as me lose an astonishing amount of weight in a year, maybe I will too, but I’m more than ok with 2 lbs a week because that is a lot. :)
