Day 04
So I wrote down in my journal this morning this question: what if I don't quit? What could happen? I asked myself this question out loud, “What if I don't quit ?”
If I don't know anything else about myself I know this for sure, that when I have a goal before me I become consumed with the goal so much so that I forget to do what I need to do today to get to the goal. Subsequently, I begin to just obsess over what's going on in the future to my own detriment rather than focusing on my daily meal plan, movement, staying hydrated, getting enough rest, and practicing self care. I just can't obsess about what's going to happen the future. I can't obsess about how long it's going to take me to get to my goal weight. In the past, that’s what I did. It only made me frustrated. I felt defeated. I felt stressed and I felt anxious. I was repeatedly missing the mark, not having any weight loss success whatsoever. I would just focus on something that was so far in the future that I really was not even paying attention to what I was doing at the at the current moment right in the present moment.
Today, I'm looking ahead at my goals for this week. I’m also looking at my 30, and 60 day goals as well. So I reverse engineered my goals, beginning with 60, then 30, then weekly, then daily. So right now my goal for January 30, 2019 is to lose 7.75 pounds. My goal for this week is to lose about 1.94 pounds, so that would mean that my goal for March 1, 2019 (which seems like eons away) and although that seems daunting to think that far ahead in the future, I'm writing down my goals through March 1, 2019. My focus is on what is the one thing that I can do today that will move me towards my future goals?
