I begin this new healthy lifestyle on June 22, 1999.
Below is a look into my weekly weigh-ins. Please note: I am not including a timeline, for I rather much doubt it'd the healthiest mindset for me. To set up certain dates of accomplishments would cause me to view this as a contest or race rather than an emerging lifestyle.
I have a list of milestones. Each one met will allow me to indulge myself in a gift.
My
first goal: 149 pounds (the first time in five years that I'm below
150)
Reward:
Health, energy and a new summer dress
My
second goal: 145 pounds (the weight I was in my first year of dating
my husband)
Reward:
Health, energy and a new bathing suit
My
third goal: 140 (a good number)
Reward:
Health, energy and another summer dress with matching shoes
My
fourth goal: 139 (first time in 10 years that I'm below 140. And yes,
this goal is mighty close to the previous one, but any excuse to get are
reward.)
Reward:
Health, energy and two new pair of jeans, plus pretty night-gown.
My
ultimate life goal: 135 (my ideal weight)
Reward:
Health, energy and donating all my fat clothes to the St. Vincent de Paul
charity.
