I've revised my end goal to 185 pounds, so I've set a goal of losing these 15 pounds by Friday, 03/12/09. Now.... you said.... ...feeling anxious or scared or some emotion I can't identify. Ditto here.
Keep in mind I'm a big guy. Weight comes off faster for us that have more to lose. Goals are good but focus on what it takes to take pounds off and the numbers will take care of themselves. I find myself thinking about the feeling, which seems to bring the feeling on or at least makes it worse (the fear of the fear as they call it). It may be that my mind won't let me rest until I do some things I need to do. This is something I developed decades ago when I was young and unsure of myself and wasn't working but had major pressure from my dad to get a job. The emotional damage from that time left me with this feeling/guilt/pressure that at times keeps me from relaxing, or at least unable to unless I feel like I've done a good job or completed the task. But I haven't had this feeling in well over a year. It's difficult to try to figure out. Mostly I need to stop thinking about it.
