Goals
Okay so this post was entirely inspired by one of Diane's that I just read. I realized that typing out what I want to happen is the first step towards making those things actually happen. Lately I have had a stalled weight loss and when this happens I usually give up. I think "what's the point, I'm not losing anyways, I might as well eat what I want and not excercise." But while this is so much about weight, it goes beyond all that. I want to change my life not just for a number but for my happiness. Make sense? So hopefully these goals will keep my motivation up and keep me focused:
Goal One: Keep Running I love the way running makes me feel. I know its a great way to burn calories but it also gives me energy, clears my head, and makes me feel strong. I want to keep up my goal of four runs a week, and continue pushing to go faster for longer distances. I want to eventually run a half marathon, perhaps within the next year.
Goal Two: Stay Out of Double Digits The largest size I have worn is pants is 14. Right now I am about a 10. I want to get down into single digits and stay there. I don't ever want to buy double digit pants again.
Goal Three: Never Feel Like a Fat Girl Again I don't ever want to feel like a "big girl" next to my friends or other people. I never want to feel different because of my body. I want to stop comparing myself to other women around me. I want to see pictures of myself and look at my smile or hair and not just the rolls on my stomach. Those feeling hold injure my confidence and self-worth. I want to know that my body is strong and healthy and that I can do, wear or acheive anything with it.
Goal Four: Don't Quit I always give up or give in because I don't see the scale moving the way I want it to or think that it will just never happen for me. I have to know that I have enough strength inside me to make whatever I want happen. I need to remember that this process can sometimes be slow or frustruating but if I keep plugging along I will be better off than if I quit. So if I slip up, gain or get stuck I will not quit. I will keep trying, because I deserve to keep trying. If I quit, then I am agreeing to settle for less than what I deserve, which is to have a body that makes me proud!

I really connected with Goal Three. It ties in to my first goal which was my best friends wedding. I don't want worrying about being "the fat girl" to get in the way of the fun.
keep going!
