[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP- I had moment like this last spring. The scale was about to tip from 179 to 180 and I just did not want it to. It’s not always fast so I had to set all sorts of interim goals as 50lbs seemed insurmountable. So instead, I said I’d get to 169! A new 10s digit! Yay! Then I’d say, my next goal is getting the scale to stay at or under 165. Then, next I’d go for 159 and celebrate the new 10s digit.

Then it started to become, I can walk a mile faster. I can run a mile! Old me couldn’t run 100 feet. Then I could run two miles, and 3 miles, etc. I also recommend buying new clothes as you go as there was nothing that made me more sad than looking at myself in clothes that didn’t fit right. I’d get just enough in the current size to hold me over- not a full wardrobe or anything. But it made me feel good to have jeans that fit properly at each size.

My other trick is that unless I have to be somewhere first thing, I don’t get showered and I get dressed in my workout clothes so I’m basically locked into exercising since it seems silly to me at that point not to do it. I get that you can’t outrun a bad diet, but I don’t just want to have lost weight, I want to be healthier overall and exercise is part of a long term healthy lifestyle. [/quote]
