First week is over!

One week has passed since I started on my diet.

There have been ups and downs- scale wise. I can´t help but weigh myself in the mornings even though I should only weigh in once a week…

In all cases I just posted my weigh in result and if the scale is correct, I am 2,4 kilos lighter than last week!

This next week that is waiting for me, I know will be a challanging one. I´m going to a huge birthday party with dinner etc.  and it´s an overnight stay – thing..

So I realy have to be strong and not go wild on all the goodies.. My plan is called fish, meat, veggies, water, soda, fruit, and one small piece of something for the coffee. So if there is going to cake or something, I intend to have a piece, a small one though. For me that is very important to allow myself to also eat at events like that. The trick is that instead of tasting from everything, I will eat what I know is good for me- and then choose ONE good thing for the coffee instead of putting 3 different cakes on the plate…

I have a LONG way to go still but I am thinking about summer already!! I have from , let´s say december.. I have from december untill like..may to loose atleast 20 kilos.  Thats 6 months. Can I do that?! I think I can. Thats one kilo per week.. more or less..

If I manage to loose 20 kilos from current weight untill may- that would mean a total weight loss of 32 kilos!! But I will take any number as long as the weight is dropping. Even if i manage to loose only 10 kilos more in that time I will be more than happy.

I have stopped putting deadlines on myself…i have all the time in the world to loose this weight. As long as I am working on it there is no reason to beat myself up about it or go  crazy saying “oh no- summer is round the corner- i need to loose 30 kilos fast!.” NO! I won´t do this to myself. I am enjoying my life even though I have this problem. If my entire life becomes only about my weight I will never smile or realize how great my life is and how fortunate I am to have what I have.

Setting motivating goals is a good thing, but its also the successes along the road that count.

Welcome second week!
