This didn't really fit in any of the categories so I thought I would toss it here.
Ok folks, need your opinions here....
Is it normal to start getting a bit anxious when you get near your goal?
Originally, my goal was 230, but about the time we started the "Biggest Losers, Guys vs Girls" 10 week challenge, I adjusted my weight loss goal to 220, thinking it was a better number for me.
Now I am less than 10lbs from my original goal, less than 20lbs from my new goal and I admit to feeling a bit anxious over the whole thing. I have to keep reminding myself to stay steady, that starving myself for the next couple of weeks, just to hit that goal sooner is NOT the way to go. Then I get to feeling like those last few pounds are taking FOREVER to come off....
I am also starting to think about transition and maintenance and I gotta tell you, that is a whole other set of anxieties right there.
What is annoying about the whole thing is that I am NOT, by nature, an anxious person, I am not a worrier.... very happy-go-lucky about most stuff.
This diet has been a major part of my life over the last 6 months and it is almost over.... and I am mixed about how I feel about it. Anyone here dealt with this type of thing? Any suggestions?
