GOAL?
Kim
I have a goal set in my mind too. It was 145 then I changed it to 140. I'm only 5'2" but I'm pretty muscular in my lower body. I don't see myself ever getting there, but I'm so happy right now, I almost don't care. I think you should just keep on being happy and doing all the great things you CAN do now and let your body worry about the numbers! Pull out that tiara and do a little Dance!!!
Happy Monday!

Remember, setting a goal doesn't mean that goal is set in stone. I had 150-155 or a size 12 in mind, and now I've revised it to 145-150. I'm 5'5", and I was in a 12 at 165 (which freaked me out).
Key ideas for me (and I am a former bulemic)
1. Can I maintain this weight without struggle or stress? For me, that means can I maintain it by self control over what I eat, no puking/laxatives. (I was going to apologize for being too blunt, but really, that's the nicest way I can think of saying it)
2. Can I be happy and have a good self image at this weight AND keep the criteria for number 1 (healthy habits). That's a tougher nut to crack, and I'm still working on it. For me, plastics aren't going to happen any time soon (I've got animals in training and old people to tend to and I can't be down for 6 or more weeks)....so it's important to not get too small (although, sorry to say, the boobs have missed that mark).
My long winded point is, until you work on number 2, you are going to have trouble with deciding on number 1. Reaching "goal" has it's own set of issues-but oh dear, I wouldn't trade them for anything.
