Re: CC Roll Call Wednesday December 16 2009

You ARE very close, Julie - is the waiting just killing you? LOL!

I have been waiting to drop a measly 3 pounds to get to my next (and kinda important to me) mini-goal for several weeks now myself... weighed that once in the middle of the day a couple of days ago, but it didn't stay there so I don't count it... did lose 1 of the 3 pounds for sure, but the other coulda been some weirdness about the scale so I don't trust it if it doesn't weigh me that same weight more than once.

Sigh -

soon though, I hope. I've been much better for the last however many days, so it has to catch up shortly.

And by the way Julie, how cool is that, you got a whole dang thread dedicated to you and your new progress pic, LOL! You are a STAR! ;-)


Does anyone else find that the weight they think they will get really excited about attaining next to be constantly shifting? I thought for a while (don't know why this number) that when I got to 285 I would somewhat relax, feel like I was making good progress and not be in such a hurry to lose anymore. But when I got to 285, then I was just in a hurry to get into the 270s and thought "THAT is the magic number..."

Then when I got in the 270s, suddenly what I REALLY wanted was to hurry up and get into the 260s because I hadn't been at that weight range in so long... and I'm not even there yet, but noticed in a brief conversation the other day that I told someone that when I got down below 250 I would feel a lot more comfortable (with myself, the diet, in general, whatever). . .

Is that shifting idea of what is REAL PROGRESS or whatever ever gonna stop moving, or is it just going to keep shifting until I basically get to goal? I don't know... don't get me wrong, I am very excited and happy about the progress I have made thus far and think I am doing quite well overall. I have no intention of giving up or slacking off or whatever once I reach whatever these points are. I don't really even intentionally set these psychological goals in my head of 'where do I really want to be where I will feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief and then just keep cruising on down to the other levels...'. They just sort of occur to me.

I think maybe what happens is that I get to (or close to) whatever weight I think is going to be my "relax" point, and then I realize I am still much heavier than I am comfortable with and then sort of reset some OTHER weight where I, for whatever reason, think I will finally be comfortable with my size, clothes, or whatever, at least temporarily. Not that I intend to quit at that point, like I said, just thinking I won't be quite so hurried to lose once I get to whatever that point is.

I've had so many of these scale points in the last month or so (271, 260s, below 250), and now I seem to have also added in a pants size (42s, which I did get a pair on the other day and could wear if I wanted though they are slightly tight still)...
I just can't seem to stop setting these little goals for myself and then while being happy when I get there, still not being satisfied. Does that make any sense at all?

I've not decided whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, or neither. I guess feeling a little extra motivated isn't a bad thing. But one of these days, it would be nice to feel like I could relax a little and just be content with where I was at the moment.
