Oh absolutely! I was nodding all the way through this post! This is why one of the reasons I actually stopped weighing myself – I knew that when I did the things that I needed to do, the weight will come off. Before I used to drive myself crazy with weight loss projections. Now I concentrate on living mindfully and healthfully and the weight is coming off. I love it!

Diane, great post, as always. It is so important to focus on something besides the number on the scale. We cannot totally, directly affect that number in the short run, but we can determine whether we exercise today, or whether we overeat or not.

I think this was a very timely post for you to write. I see that a lot of ‘in process” weight loss bloggers are setting small goals for themselves, for the holiday season, based on this posting and the challenges that are going around right now. I am pleased to see that most of these goals are doable and will help keep people focused.

I wanted to share (your postings always make me think of something I had forgotten):
There was a blogger a couple years ago that used to have a weekly – NONscale goal. She would pick something like – drinking X glasses of water, getting to bed at a reasonable time, etc. And then she would really focus on that all week. And she kept it as a running list. So she sort of taught herself a positive habit, learned it, applied it, and then continued applying it. That blog is long gone now (I looked because I was going to copy and paste the whole list for you).

With the New Year creeping up on us faster than most of us would like, I can’t think of a better way to start off the new year than having very specific goals that I can track on a daily basis so that they can be reached.

Diane, this is so spot on!!!! People get caught up in all these goals that are too far out… you need to find specific, measurable, realistic & timely goals. Baby steps & short term goals that lead to long term success. And YES, not all about the scale like you mentioned above BECAUSE when you do what you did, those little things add up big time in terms of weight loss!

Such a great post as usual!

It’s so easy to come up with a million reasons for putting off getting healthy. Figuring out smaller goals is a great way to do it!

Very good post. For me, it’s good because I am reaching some goals, but since they aren’t weight loss as fast as I wanted I tend to beat myself up anyway. I have to stop and remind myself that I”m doing better and the weight will come off if I stay focused and keep on it.
