Weight loss Vision

Tonight I attended my weekly weight watchers meeting like normal; however, tonight wasn't a normal meeting. I asked to start over, start fresh with a new book and a new outlook. The first year on WW I lost 80 pounds. The second year of WW I maintained my weight and gained a little back in the last five weeks of craziness. Maintaining 185 pounds is not okay for me; I need to lose 48 more pounds to be considered healthy. So tonight, I begin anew. As this comic says, I am tired of being in the "in-between" which is where I've lived for the last year.

I'm prepared with groceries, meal plans, print outs to make my custom journal, and a new mindset. My body is different than it was when I started at 270 lbs and I must treat it differently.

In my leadership class I just finished, we talked significantly about our professional vision when it comes to education and it was VERY easy for me to develop, write, and implement my action steps to make this vision a reality. I think the concreteness (I know, not a word) of it helped me see the small and big steps to take and made it achieveable. As we learned in class, a vision is a long-term goal projected for two to three years. The mission is the process we take to get there. I will take the same approach in my weight loss struggle

My vision: I seek a healthy lifestyle where obesity is not an issue, proper eating and exercise are integrated with life, and I am able to do anything I set my mind to without consideration of my weight.

My missions: I will not accept maintance, nor rely upon the past. I will stay within my points target. I will journal my food (every lick, bite, and taste) before it goes into my mouth. I will measure and weigh my food because I know it works. I will cook healthy, filling foods for Dave and myself. I will begin the journey to regular exercise.
