Hang Ups

I discovered last night that I'm hung up over a number. This is why we shouldn't weigh ourselves. We think it's motivating, and it is for a while, and then our head starts working against us and the numbers that we see become discouraging. I'm almost to my first HUGE goal and I slowed WAY down because I was almost there. Then I became hung up on how far I still have to go. People would say, "70 lbs Wendy, that's amazing!" And I would immediately think and say, "Only 100 more to go!" Which is the perfect way to psyche yourself out and discourage further progress. So I'm done with that. 71 lbs - YEAH! Way to go Wendy! Keep up the good work! ;0)
