I feel like I am racing against time. I have a deadline for my goal weight. What happens if I don't get there? What if it needs to be extended? I know that I am not a failure because I have done so much already. But, I would feel a sense of losing against time. Every day is a new day and it is hard to remain focused. All of us who have a busy life and do not have the opportunity to go off to some camp just to lose weight have to juggle the challenges that are put in front of us. I thought that I wouldn't have any challenges after being on this journey for over a year. The challenge are different, but still there.
When you are trying to do some thing that is truly difficult for you, you have really know that the fight is worth it. The fight is hard. You get banged up and tossed around. You want to get out of the ring per say and walk away at times. Your support during the beginning of the fight may not be the same as it is in the middle. That is where I find myself........in the middle of this weight loss fight. I know I can't go back and moving forward is the only option. It takes perseverance. It takes real dedication without excuses. It take time. It takes all I have to stay with it. Do I finish this fight I have with weight loss? How long until I am finished?

My past attempts at weight loss totally failed because I put a deadline on it. My goal is only three pounds away and it's just getting harder for me to take off. I would love to have it off by my birthday (which is next week), but I don't think that's a realistic goal. This time, I think I'm successful because I didn't put a deadline on it. That is just one added pressure you don't need. You have done a remarkable job. Don't feel like all of it is out the window because of a deadline. Deadlines are for newspapers; not people.
