Ok so this big it word "weight loss" and being obese is all in our news media all the time, I mean a mayor is trying to ban large drinks in that city. But what does that really mean because weight is really just a number. What if I started walking around and saying that my mass was bla bla bla, I mean besides that people would look at me a little funny no one would care right. What about if you said you weighed X kilos???
You are probably thinking where is she going with this and I will tell you... In Europe and yes Germany everything is done by the metric system (I know you knew that but just in case you didn't) so that means weight goes by Kilograms. (you are probably thinking ummm duhhhh) So do this really quick go change you scale into Kilograms and step on it (I'm serious go and do this) what's your weight? Probably some awesome number under 100 right? Def less then what you are in pounds right (ok yes this one has to be true) How does that make you feel? For me it's amazing because now for me it's no longer a real number it' just some figment number. Ok so 1 kilo is about 2.2 pounds so that means when you lose 1 kilo you have lost about 2ish pounds (haha awesome) and feeling like you can lose 10 kilos sounds sooooo much more doable then saying you want to lose like 25 pounds (yuk)
Ok so my goal for this summer was to lose now 10 kilos (give or take) by the end of my summer break so we will say beginning of August. And I am right now down 2 (ha only 8 more to go) Life seems easier when we can break them up into tiny chunks and then squash them :) Whatever your weight lose goal is though PLEASE do it healthily no crazy crash diets or whatever because I am in this for the long haul (ok maybe I have two wedding I am supposed to go to and it would be nice if I could wear an awesome dress) but seriously let's be healthy.
Leave me your comments and your thoughts.
Wish you the very best if your also on a weight journey.
