BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Low Carb Weight Milestone Signs

Just checking in if anybody needs a new sign to hang up on their wall and carry in their purse! The signs really work!

Here are two new signs for the new year!

Let me know if you'd like a sign, and for what weight!

I'm on a morning glory kick Here's another sign!



If you'd like a weight I haven't done yet, let me know and I'll post it! I can also do custom signs if you'd like a different design

125 for me please!!! With Serenity and a zebra!

OK I'll work on that for you - I need to find some new clip art!

Lisa:

Late to all this and too lazy to back track through the 7 pages to the 1st, can you tell me about these signs and what do the numbers mean?

Thank you,
Angela

Dear Angela -

The idea is that goals are best when they are short term and measurable. It's hard for the brain to think about 5 years from now. It's much easier to think about the current month, about something you can achieve and celebrate.

So if you are thinking about weight loss, only think about THIS FIVE POUNDS. Just this short term goal. Focus only on the current five pounds you want to lose.

So what would that weight be, if you just lost weight to reach the next five pound increment - i.e. the target weight ends in a zero or a five!

Hi Lisa:

How about inches? Would that qualify for one of your "neat" cliparts?

Reason for asking:
I no longer weigh but go by inches = when my size 10 begins to feel tight = time to cut back (lol).

The only time I weigh is when I go to my doctor for my blood pressure renewals once a year - it is mandatory.

I found at age 52, that the scale was stressing me out as for example, in the morning - weight is down. That night it may be up.

Right now, I am using days as my goal as I need to get some warm clothes for my trip back to Phenix City, Alabama. I plan on visiting Goodwill on Saturday 1/22.

So with this said, can I maybe get a "clipart" with the number 12 on it for 12 more days for 1/22.

If not, I do understand. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain all this to me.

Dear Angela -

Certainly I could make you a sign that says 12 - but won't that only be good for one day? Is your desire to fit into a certain size when you go shopping? In that case, it sounds like you want your goal to be "10" yes?

Hi Lisa:

LOL, yes you are right and thank you!

I am not sure what size I am right now, but my clothes are size 10 and are finally getting comfortable again after overeating over the holidays. So size 10 is my life-long goal and my 1/22 goal...
