New Mental Strategy

So i'm taking this class...interpersonal communication. and we were talking about self fulfilling prophesy and self esteem related to goals. the professor was talking about how a goal of 4.0 gpa is unreasonable. and i was sitting there thinking that it's not an unrealistic goal depending on your abilities, especially since that's one of my goals. this made me think about how many times i didn't acheive a 4.0 gpa and what i'm doing now to accompish this goal. now, i have my acute powers of focus used for studying, i make the time and prioritize my studying, and i know i can make A's so I believe in myself.

in a light bulb moment, i decided to try and apply the same strategy to weight loss. i think i've been trying to loose weight still believeing that i'm ultimately going to fail. i'm going to work on my self fullfiling prophesy in relation to weight loss. i think this will be difficult. I'm noticing that i tend to cram at the last minute for just about everything and i don't think this strategy will work for weight loss since I have to work every day to be sucessful at weight loss. and I have to maintaine the same strategy day after day for the rest of my life. still lots of work to be done to be successful at being healthy.

I've been hovering around 260-265 for the last 2-3 months. and my goal for the rest of the year is to get down to around 240-245. this equals 7 lbs a month. ok, so i don't think i can do 7 lbs a month, so we'll see what i'm acutally able to do.
