when you found yourself almost at goal -

Did you hurry up and get there or figure you were close enough that you started slacking?

well, I'm a slacker. I'm 4 lbs from goal but after a bad day yesterday I'll probalby be up a pound or two this week on my WI day. I have been doing so thinking on this very thing in the past week or two and I think that I'm in a comfort zone, you know the zone of unhappiness about my weight, chiming right along with all those in saying things like "I shouldn't be eating this.............I know I need to drop a few..........I'll never get to my wedding date weight......................Good thing my hubby loves me just the way I am........blah blah blah blah" and for me finally reaching 'goal' means I have to explore a new self-image and that's scary and uncomfy.

So I self-sabotage within 5 lbs of goal. This is my new goal now to accept that I can reach a goal that I'm happy with and it's ok to admit to others that I've worked hard and resisted temptations (some!) and self-disciplined to get here.

Truth be told - I feel much much much much better physically and mentally when I eat within my eating plan and that's something I need to remember!
