Looking Ahead 239 Posted January 4, 2013 When I had my surgery in June of last year, I didn't set a short term goal for myself. I set it high for where I would like to "start" making goals. To me goals are optional. The weight I set for myself was not an option. It was a life altering number that would change my life, make me healthier, more confident, happier. If I could get to this number then I could set small goals to a "better" healthier person. I started at 338 at my highest weight from my home scales and set my number at 190. Today I am only 20 lbs from that healthier number. From there I'll set 10 lbs goals for myself. I can see the confidence when I look in the mirror today. Yesterday I wore a pair of spunky cowboy boots to work. I kept getting compliments on how they had personality! lol I would have never done that before. Boots, jeans and a shirt that doesn't hide my butt ! LOL I've went from a 26W to a 14/16 misses. My dream is size 8/10 and about 160 lbs. Who knows, sometimes dreams do come true. Maybe this is my year to get my wish ! 2 annabelle and cbaker911 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
