Goals

There is so much stuff out there, about weight loss, about positive thinking , about goal setting. Just a basic internet search will find all this stuff and you can spend days reading all about it. Spend weeks doing on-line quizzes and exercises.

But how do you really come to terms with your goals. My long term goal is to lose 20kg (44lbs). I know what I will look like, because I’ve been at that weight before. I will be able to rescue a whole lot of clothes from garbage bag hell and I will be able to buy a normal size bra that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

But my mind doesn’t really get it, I have to remove 20kg (44lbs - 154000 calories) from my body. Every single day for the next six months (26 weeks - 182 days) I have to consider what I eat, I have to plan exercise (and do it)…

So I put it off… because 182 days is a long time. I will start next week because this week we have two dinners to attend. I will start next week because I had extra work on this week. I will start next week, because this week is nearly over.

Actually I’m going to start this Friday, because that is the first day I can do a proper grocery shop and get to the gym. So two days to plan and then its on - no matter what my mind thinks!
