My first week of Lighter Life is finished! I am so pleased. Not only did I complete the week without once delving into the biscuit tin, I have lost 10lb. That’s just amazing.
The counselling session tonight was about setting goals. To be honest I was shocked at how hard I found it. I had to imagine where I would be in one years time, what I would look like, what clothes I would be wearing, and how people would react to me. I just couldn’t imagine that far into the future at all. I’ve always been someone to only look at what is happening in the present and not what may happen in months or years to come. And I realised I have never made goals before. I mean, I’ve aimed at things. But I have never made a goal.
I am starting out small. I have some red jeans that I bought in the sales a while back. They are too small. So my aim is to get into my red jeans before Halloween. Apparently, this is what is called a “smart goal” because it is “specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timed!” OK, it’s a silly little thing, but I am quite proud of it for my first ever goal!
I still can’t visualise what I will look like in one years time though. I am starting to wonder why. The only thing I can come up with is that maybe I just don’t know yet who I am now. So how can I possibly know who I will be in a year?
My work will still not confirm they will let me leave on Friday. I am at the point where I’m thinking, “I don’t really care what they think. I’m damn well going on Friday!” Yup! That’s my decision.
My head is well and truly blagged now!
