Good luck with the job search....think how much more confident you will be in interviews now

My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am

It has really helped me put my current circumstances into perspective and help bolster my confidence which took a battering when I was made redundant and "escorted" from my building after 8 years of service.

If I am to be honest, when I started TF a year ago, I didn't have enough belief in myself to think that *perhaps this time* I might be able to lose weight. I found it too hard to imagine losing 33k - that is a huge number!

Instead I broke it down into small chunks....this week I would aim for 1k, then I would aim for 3k total, then 5k total, then 5cm off my waist, then 8k by the end of the month etc. By constantly having small goals to aim for I was able to achieve them and gradually I started to see bigger numbers. I remember when Mally Flea made me a 10k lost blinkie I was so proud!

These days I still have 8k to go to "get to goal", but I am no longer focused on weight loss only. I am now focused on being healthy and feeling happy. It is such a satistying feeling to love my body and fitness and health instead of loving salt and vinegar chips

Before 93k        Goal weight-60k {165cm}

Alex .. thanks for your post its a good way to look at it because the big number is so overwhelming .. afterall it didnt go on overnight so to break it down into small kilo lots and get your brain around that is the way to go .. thanks for pointing that out .. as I keep going back to your original post and how I am that person who you described back in May 2008 .. so you are a huge inspiration. I just have to get over my hot chips and chicken salt obsession I hope we can meet someday seeing as we must live pretty close going to the same centre at Maroubra

I hope the babysitting is going well and I hope something comes along that is more permanent and stable for your career .. you certainly must have so much more confidence to go for interviews now that you look and feel so great after your weight loss .. good luck

BECKS
