I've got that same part telling me that I'm being ridiculous in even trying
this again. I want that part to shut up. So I'm going to try it one step
at a time. It joined in chorus with the "you're never going to find a
decent job so don't bother trying" gremlin.

Usually when I think I'm being ridiculous, I want to stuff my face with
empty calories. Tonight's response to stuffing my face was to measure out
some chips and salsa and to try that first. That wasn't enough so I grabbed
a pinch of marinated ginger. That wasn't doing much either so I got a a
huge bowl of spring mix, 3oz tomatoes, 1 oz peppers, cukes, and 2 tbsp of
salad dressing.

I'm addressing the "want sweet" desire with some bubble gum. Still better
that what is lurking in the freezer in the dark corners.

I don't have to stop all the bad habits, just tweek 'em enough to keep going
to the next day and not turn them into bad decisions.

When I started, I set my goal weight at 157, not as low as the high
end of WW range, but certainly ambitious for me. As I settled into the
program and realized that thin and healthy is how I want to be and
this way of eating is how I want to live, I lowered my goal weight to
the high end of WW goal. Now that I'm within 15 lbs of reaching it,
I'm beginning to think I can get down to 130. I won't decide until
I've hit my WW goal. It's been since the mid 1970s since I weighed
under 160. I weighed 140 all through high school, 20 lbs overweight
according to my doctor at the time. In other words, I've never weighed
130 as an adult. Some part of thinks it might be possible. Even as
another part of me thinks I'm being ridiculous. Of course, that same
part of me doesn't believe I've come as far as I have.

Hi everyone,

This is a bit of a silly question. When you set your target, do you go
by
your own goal or is the chart weight assigned to you?

I'm not really confident that I can get to the chart assigned weight for
my
height. I've never been that weight. I can't imagine it or picture
myself
that way.
