What's in a number?

Postby DogMa » August 15th, 2006, 3:05 pm

I've made a decision. Since I'm already in my original goal size of 6, and pretty close to a 4 (which is still unbelievable to me), I'm adjusting my goal and my ticker and declaring myself "done," at least as far as weight loss is concerned. I'd still like to get into those 4s comfortably, but I think I can do that by building muscle and burning fat. I'm pretty sure that with the added muscle, I still will NOT be at my original weight goal of 125.

And you know what? I've decided not to care. I'd much rather fit in tiny jeans and weigh 130 - and be fit and strong.

So this is it. I'm changing my ticker to reflect my decision, and I'm moving on to the next phase so I can add enough calories (and protein) to effectively build some serious muscle.

How did I know you'd be asking that? But yes, I'll post some sort of "mostly after" shot when I get back (I'll have to get my cousin to take some). And then hopefully better ones later as I get stronger and leaner.

I think that is a really good decision. From they way you have been going I think your body is telling you that you are at goal.

Congrats on reaching your goal & making such a wonderful decision! It's so easy to get hung up on what number the scale reads, but health, fitness and happiness...is measured in many ways. I think you made a wonderful decision!!

BTW - I had a dream last night...you were in it. I have no idea where I was, but I ran into this lady with a tattoo on her arm that read DogMa and I asked if she was the same DogMa from this board. LOL I must've read one of your posts or replies just before I headed to bed.

I leave for a day and what do I see? Robin's at goal? WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Robin!

I think you made a wise decision. I hope I can be that rational when I get to that point.

Thanks, you guys. Here I'm still feeling a bit like I wimped out by not "finishing." But I think I really do need to stop losing pounds and just focus on firming up. Who knows? I may end up losing a few more eventually just by doing that.

I'm definitely not going anywhere. I think maintenance is going to be harder than the weight-loss phase, and I'm going to need plenty of support while I find my way through this. (And a tattoo, huh? It took till I was 30 just to get my ears pierced!!)
