My goals!

So I see my goals in a different category to my commitments. I am committed to losing the weight, I'm committed to making changes to my life. I'm not going to go back on these commitments, even if they take me the next 10 years to achieve...

But I also have goals. I have goals in life. My first goal is to gain full time employment as a teacher so I can inspire the next generation to be whatever they want to be. That is my first goal but it is completely out of my control as to whether that will happen in the next year or the next 10 years!!

My next goal is to get into a size 12! Originally I said a size 14, but I'm a 16-18 now and just wanted to lose a bit of weight. But after seeing all of the inspirational women on the 30 Plus crews site, I am so determined that I can actually achieve more for myself!

Another goal I have is to smash as much weight as I can before May. My dad turns 50 in May, and I'm always the whale in the photo... So I need to smash as much weight off as possible, buy an awesome dress and rock it at the 50th birthday party!

My main goal is to fit into a pretty wedding dress eventually. I'm determined to marry my partner, and to wear a dress that is fitted and not secretly hiding fat underneath...!!

I think if I had been able to do my deb, I would have felt less passionate about this... Even the socially awkward girl in our class did her deb... I didn't because no one wanted to suck it up and do it with the fat girl... So I missed out because of my weight.. I want to be able to celebrate my future with my husband and wear the white dress. Its something little girls dream of!!!

My last goal is to become a mother...

Now I'm not saying I need to do these things in this order, I most certainly do not. But I need to make sure that I can set achievable goals that I can achieve myself. Now these aren't going to happen over night, but they are achievable eventually!

Now I'm off to do my workout, because I need to take my mind off the future and focus on the now. We all make excuses of why we can't achieve our dreams. But it isn't why we can't achieve our dreams, they are excuses as to why we choose not to achieve our dreams. I have always made those excuses. I have always made the excuses as to why I can't exercise. It is 8.22pm right now, and I'm going to get off my bum, and do even just 30mins. As I see it, its better that what I had been doing... And I had been doing bloody nothing and it wasn't good enough!!!
