Winning outcome

When I look at what I want the end result to be, it seems overwhelming. I want to lose 60 lbs. So I have decided to file that away for a while. Right now, my goal is to be the weight I was when I moved to the country I am living in now. This is not a bad goal. I need to lose just four lbs to be where I was. Since I have been in this country for almost 3 years now, I've gained just over a lb a year. But when I remember that I had lost weight coming here, I do get angry with myself for allowing this to happen.

So my winning outcome is to fit into my wedding dress and and my first goal is to get to 208 lbs. I would like this to happen before September first.

So now that I know my goal, how do I get there? What do I need to achieve my goal.

I know that I have had little follow through over the last few years. Having a smaller goal that I have made will make it easier to achieve.

I need to use up more calories than I take in. This means increasing activity while decreasing food intake.

SO here is my plan:

I have already cut out dining out. I may increase that to once a week.

I will track my food. Not only online but in a journal I write in. I have been practising for the last few weeks.

I will get in a minimum of 30 minutes a day of activity but will aim for an hour.

I will focus on foods that fill me up, not necessary foods that I crave.

I will plan ahead.

I will draw a storyboard and keep it with me to remind myself of what I am working towards.
