As I approach my listed goal weight I know that I would like to go further. I think, like you, it is about finding that natural point that tapers off to where I should be and just feels right. I figure I'll know it when I get there.266https://www.blogger.com/profile/16170707764904423302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341467102466935267.post-19254413896247365892010-03-29T23:19:27.496-04:002010-03-29T23:19:27.496-04:00I liked this chapter simply because I had never th...I liked this chapter simply because I had never thought in terms of achievable and maintainable. I just assumed that the formula was to pick a goal weight, achieve it then do whatever you can to maintain it. But I do realize they are two really different numbers. and to be honest, for myself, now I have no interest in achieving any number I can't maintain. And I know previous goal weights were too low.OldGoogleAccounthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751024115173996573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341467102466935267.post-83896114496011511042010-03-29T19:56:49.092-04:002010-03-29T19:56:49.092-04:00My goal weight is 160.

That is the focus for me ultimately. However, in the real world, filled with family, birthdays, housework and age, I will be very happy to reach anything below 200 lbs. At my heaviest I weighed 310, I got down to 200 and on that day I got pregnant with my son and I have not been there since. The last time I weighed in at 200 lbs was my first day of school believe it or not ( talk about a life long weight problem !). In my mind , revisiting the number I weighed in at on the first day of first grade is kind of like a miracle face lift or something. One part of me will share in the experience I had when I was that young..little does it matter that it is my number on the scale !Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694756762570280051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341467102466935267.post-56357037473368907842010-03-29T12:39:04.914-04:002010-03-29T12:39:04.914-04:00I had a goal weight: 171 lbs.

I thought my goal weight would be reasonable, but excess skin and age and years of morbid obesity have changed my mind. My doctor thinks I've done well, and that it's now going to take a heck of a lot of work to lose another 10 lbs, much less another 25-30 (before corrective surgeries). I'm afraid he may be right. <br /><br />I read a lot of blogs about healthy women obsessing over weight loss or saying how fat they are. It's very discouraging, because these are lovely, active, healthy women who seem to have no idea how healthy and beautiful they are. I know I could be them so very easily... so I do have some empathy for them. But I also think women need to get real.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341467102466935267.post-71318859722839852782010-03-29T12:06:49.595-04:002010-03-29T12:06:49.595-04:00This is a tricky issue that I think a lot about. ...This is a tricky issue that I think a lot about.
