Back when I owned a home, I used to tell my friends to call before they came because my house was always 30 mins away from being clean. I used the same methodology with my weight. When I was overweight like 230 lbs and my friends invited me on a trip or to a special event, I would hope it was a month away because I knew with a month of hard work I could be back to 200 lbs. For the longest time, 230 lbs had always been my 'wake up number', now I wish it had been a lower number. :-/
Somehow I passed 230 and it didn't bother me as I continued to spread. After reaching 281 lbs, the biggest I've ever been, my eyes were opened as I realized 300 was right around the corner. It sadden me to know I wasn't a month away after 200 anymore...more like six months and six months seemed like forever. Even now, being in the 250s, I know I'm still 2 or 3 months away from being under 200 lbs. It's hard but I do see a light at the end of the tunnel. I keep telling myself: just take one day at a time...eventually the scale will read the number 185.
Today, I vow that once I reach my goal of 185, I will not, I repeat, I will not go over 200 lbs, that will be my new 'wake up number'. I figure 10 to 15 lbs is enough leeway for the holiday season.
So, what's your 'wake up number'?

I never thought of having a wake up number before. That's a good idea, I have to think about that. Also good advice about walking shoes, I need to look into that as well. I was never bothered by the film on baby carrots. I have soaked them in water in the refrigerator cold wet carrots are delicious!
