Today I updated my weight tracker. I've changed my goal weight a number of times: when I first started, my goal was to get down to 56 kgs (123 lbs) which would have meant a total loss of 30 kilograms (66 lbs). In the summer, a few months after I started, I started feeling really good about my body and decided I didn't want to lose quite as much weight as I originally planned, and changed my goal weight to 60 kgs (132 lbs). As my motivation began to disappear and I really did not feel like losing a lot more weight (and I was actually pretty content with my current appearance), I changed it yet again to 66 kgs (145 lbs) which would have put me to a total loss of 20 kilograms instead of the original 30 that I planned to lose.

HOWEVER, now that I am back at it again and feeling stronger than ever, I decided that I wanted to do this right once and for all. Before I gained all this weight, I consistently weighed about 120 lbs. I call this my "natural weight". Ever since I gained a lot of weight, I've always wanted to get back to where I was. I haven't weighed that little since I was 16 years old - that's when the binge eating started. I decided I really want to reach that "natural weight" again once and for all! I'm going to give it a try. If at some point along my journey I feel like I do not want to or need to lose any more weight, I won't. But for now, my new goal is to get down to about 120 lbs.

I'm excited about this!! I'm filled with this amazing energy and I'm going to channel it into building momentum for weeks and months to come. I know I can do this. We all can!
