Revisiting Weight Loss Goals for Adventurers

I was looking back at some of my previous entries and stumbled upon this entry regarding what were some of my weight loss goals. And now I get to say, whether I have achieved them or not! (see below) I am so pleased to see that I have!

This also goes to show how quickly we can forget our achievements or how much we undervalue them. I do feel that lately I have been going backwards in terms of progress yet others say I look smaller and that makes me feel good but I know I must do my best to maintain what I have lost. My clarinet teacher even said to me, "It would be a pity if you didn't maintain all the hard work you have put after all this time."

So it's back to, what are you out there to achieve? Massive weight loss in terms of numbers (which can make you miserable if you're obsessed) or will you choose to also look beyond the weighing scale taking note there are other measurements of success?

WEIGHT LOSS GOALS FOR ADVENTURERS -

Created by Rozana Yunos, Weight Loss Adventurer since September 2009

Every person has their reasons for embarking on a weight loss programme. Even though the ultimate goal suggest that weight loss is the most important aspect, there are other areas in which we know we have achieved our goal. Some are measurable and some are not. The most important thing is you accept the success and be proud of  yourself for the steps you are taking to create a healthier you!

 

I have achieved my goals when:

1. The clothes that I owned 10 years ago can now fit me! - CHECK!

2. I look in the mirror, I like and appreciate what I see. - CHECK!

3. My body measurements are reducing each week even though the weighing scale has not moved. - CHECK!

4. I enjoy simple food with fresh flavours and it doesn't have to be complicated in its preparation. - CHECK!

5. I can live without processed food. - CHECK!

6. I don't overeat and don't feel the need to eat more than what my body can take. - CHECK!

7. I can wear the dresses sold in shops and don't have to look for size XXL. - CHECK!

8. I can say NO to chocolate, ice cream and other sweet treats! - CHECK!

9. I look at food I used to eat and say "I can't believe I used to eat that!" - CHECK!

10. I feel light on my feet and dancing is so much easier! - CHECK!

11. I feel I have more energy, don't huff and puff when I go upstairs and can walk really fast. - CHECK!

12. I say, "I'm so glad I started this adventure!" - CHECK!
