Here's to a new outlook!

Good Morning! It's Friday! Yay!

I have been doing some major thinking and contemplating the past few days, and I've come to a conclusion that I am happy and at peace with.

I am taking away my "deadline" to lose my weight.  I know some people won't agree with it, or feel like I'm slacking and getting lazy, but that's not the case. I am confident in my decision.

More times than not during the past two months I have gotten overly upset/stressed over not being able to make my deadline. I have lost sight of what this is really about. Of course it's about losing weight and feeling better about myself, but it's more than that. It's about living a healthier lifestyle, and maintaining it. So, that's why I am removing my deadline. I don't want to try to maintain this lifestyle stressed out and crying over gained ounces or obsessing over what I eat compared to how much I exercise. I am going to continue doing what I have been doing every day, and hopefully without the extra stress of meeting such a huge goal this will be a little easier on my mind.

When I started this, I had one goal on my mind. Skinny. Skinny. Skinny. All I wanted was to be skinny. I'm realizing now, that I don't just wanna be skinny. I want to be healthy and strong! Of course I do want to be thinner than I am, but that's not the only goal here. I want to continue to live a healthy lifestyle even after my goals are met, and I feel that if I focus more on the lifestyle part than the "oh my gosh am I losing weight fast enough" part, that will be easier for me. 

I'm still going to post weekly results but that won't be the main focus anymore.

Thanks for all the support that I've received so far, it really is encouraging.

Here's to a new outlook!
