The good news is that I exceeded the interim goal by a little bit, which blew my mind! I'd lost 10,2kg in under three months, and I was convinced I'd have no problem losing the remaining 5,5kg within the next three months.
So, here we are, it's 30 June, and I am 3,7kg from my goal weight. And how do I feel? I feel just fine! My weight loss has slowed down, and I'm simply continuing, because this is my new normal, and not a temporary thing. So at this stage, I'm continuing with my programme and won't be too hooked on the date. All I know is, I WILL achieve my goal weight, just on a different date. :-)
The really cool thing is that this journey was originally about tackling one area of my life in which I felt stuck, in order to start liberating myself in other areas. How's that going? Really well. Am I learning principles and techniques that would serve me well in other challenges I'll be tackling? Indeed!
What is the biggest lesson about NOT having reached my goal weight by the goal date? It is that some of the trimmings we attach to goals are not nearly as significant as the many other wonderful lessons we learn along the way and the longer-term, more lasting changes we undergo when we take a leap of faith and choose to break patterns that no longer serve us.
Will I reach my goal weight by the end of July? August? Before my birthday, in September? I don't know.
What I do know is that, for as long as I am able to choose my thoughts, I will wake up every day, uttering this affirmation: "It's a new day, and I commit to healthy choices - just for today."
