Lydia Kleyn's Journal, 20 Feb 10

What an awseome weekend, weather is still so nice today, went to the gym this morning after 30 minutes Im like I can't stand being in here anymore with the sun shining outside, so went for a 6 mile walk, was a little chilly but felt great.
My goal is to be 179 by march 1, lets see if I can get there. Im just starting to realize though that sometimes I set really high unrealistic goals and then I get so MAD at myself that I didn't achieve it, when I need to realize my body will lose the weight at it's own pace and not at the pace my mind wants it to lose it at. Ive lost over 15 lbs this year, but still get mad at myself, ugg I guess this really is a learning process, and journaling on fat secret is really helping me to see that, everything is OK and I just need to take a step back sometimes and have a look at the BIG picture and see how far I come, instead of getting so frustrated at the little numbers.

I will get there one day it certainly is a learning process. One thing I have experienced and continue too experience, is that losing weight is such a mental thing too, yes you look different physically but your mind takes awhile to catch up, b/c truly after someone has lost allot of weight you are still the same person, but you no longer have this comfort zone of fat to hide behind, and the true you starts coming out, and sometimes that can be SCARY :-) but in a good way. and that's is where I am loving this online community it is just so encouraging, thankyou everyone!!!

Wow! A 6 mile walk outside sounds so long! I never really get outside for walking or running, I'm a total gym girl. :/ It's crazy how fat actually acts as a comfort zone! Isn't it weird? I'm worried about having my brain catch up to my appearance when I reach my goals. I'll still have insecurities, but hopefully I can grow comfortable in my skin - especially when it looks better on me. ;) Good luck reaching your March 1 goal! I'll be cheering you on!

You are so right... Losing weight physically is one thing, but sometimes our minds don't "follow" and we still feel fat (well, it's been my case anyway, it took me years to accept that I lost the weight. Now I'm better but I can still hear old voices sometimes, like today when I went shopping). Keep in mind the big picture, but take one day at the time and never give up because you made one mistake. I wish you good luck reaching your goal!
