Stella, the other evening my hubby heard something on the radio and I thought about it and although the person was referring to something else it's so apt for this WOL.
He said (I'll paraphrase): "Put your goal in your mind and concentrate on it. Then just start heading out in that direction. It may not happen in the time frame you want it to, but it will happen."
So that's what I'm doing. Yes, I'd love to be able to whisk this weight off and be 60 pounds thinner within a couple of months, but I also know that's not realistic. I keep telling myself my #1 goal here is to become healthier, and this WOE is going to do that for me. Yes, I want the weight loss, but I also want healthy weight loss and healthy maintenance.
I also tell myself time and again, "If it's worth having, it's worth waiting for." I've been overweight now for the past 18 years. I can live with it a little bit longer.
