Friday is my last day on the first cycle. Since I had a couple less then stellar days last week, I want to extend the first cycle just a tad. I want Sunday to be the end of the first cycle, and start the 2nd cycle Monday. Call me crazy, but I just feel better about this for some reason.
I also decided to switch my reward for successfully ending the 1st cycle. Instead of getting that darling purse, I want to buy a Christmas dress for my reward. The hubby is going to take me on a date to see the nutcracker, and I want something festive to wear. Plus, with Christmas being on Sunday, I want something pretty to wear to church. I found a red sparkly dress (and a clutch to match;) at kohls that I fell in love with. I'm going to go back in the next couple days to get it! I'll most def take pictures :) That purse is definitely still going to be one of my rewards, though. I mean, that purse belongs on my arm. Maybe at the end of the 3rd cycle?
I've been reassessing my goal weight for the past couple months. My goal weight was 120 pounds; but when I look at pictures of myself at that weight, I just don't like the way I look.
120 pounds:
However, when I look at pictures of myself at 140 pounds, I do.
140 pounds:
So, my new goal weight is 140 pounds. It just feels right to me. I'm a women with curves, and I like that. I don't need to be a stick. With us trying to get pregnant, my 120 pound goal was stressing me out. "Do I try and reach that before we get pregnant?", "That's so far away!". A 140 pound goal seems very doable. After having a baby, I may take a second look at my 120 pound goal, who knows. For this time in my life, 140 pounds feels right.

I think you look beautiful, in general!!! I love that you are flexibe with you goal weight! It's so important that we listen to and love our bodies! Can't wait to see pictures of you and your sparkly red dress!
You are so photogenic! I can't wait to see pictures of the reward dress.
You are beautiful Brittany!
I got down to 20 pounds lighter than am I right now and I was too skinny. I think this is about the right weight for my body. I look healthy rather than thin. You are absolutely gorgeous no matter what your weight is. I think you'll have to see how you feel when you hit your goal weight but it sounds very reasonable to me. You're doing great!!! Good luck!
I can't wait to see you in that dress :)
You're beautiful at both weights, but you do look very thin in the 120lb photo. I hope that changing the goal offers you a bit of peace. 140lbs is still a very healthy weight.
And I can't wait to see your red dress!!
I can't wait to see the dress - you'll look fab, lady! From a girl who starts to look starve-y at 150 (my body is varsity at carrying muscle), I think that 140 is a totally reasonable goal. You'll know it's time to stop when you look in the mirror and know that you're there.
