One Small Goal at a Time

I have had a lifelong battle with my weight and sometimes it has just seemed like such a struggle that I have given up. This has resulted in me starting my latest, and last, lifelong healthy eating plan weighing the heaviest I have ever been!

From the start of this "diet" to my goal weight I will have to lose roughly half my body weight, possibly slightly more:-o  To look at this in one chunk makes it seem like such an insurmountable task that I don't think I would ever be able to do it, so I have broken my weightloss down in to smaller goals: every half stone, getting down to a new number, dropping a dress size,etc.

I also have some more personal goals and I am delighted that, totally out of the blue, last week I achieved one of the most important goals to me:)

I finally got my engagement ring back where it should be! I had to take it off when I was pregnant with Jessica, just over 9 years ago, as I had really swollen fingers and it just wouldn't go back on, until now.  I really hadn't expected it to fit until I had lost about another stone but I am so glad it did, I have missed it.

It just goes to show though that dieting success can be measured in lots of ways, other than the results on the scales.  I have hit a bit of a plateau with my weight loss and it was has really been getting me down but my clothes are still getting looser and now my ring fits me again.

So please, whatever your goals are in life, don't give up!
