You all know, I have a LOT of weight to loose.  I have learned the value of mini goals.

If I look at the fact that I have 250 lbs to loose… that is two hundred fifty folks, I would grab the nearest Snicker Bar and start chowing down.  That is just an insurmountable number.  That’s an even 1000 sticks of butter, oh my hell!

I have had to set mini goals to keep from getting discouraged during this whole journey.  My first mini goal this go round is to get below 400 lbs.

The thing is… I have to figure out how to reward myself for meeting that goal.  Normally it would be a splurge on food of some sort.  Unfortunately, that doesn’t work very well for me.  I end up going completely insane and eating everything I can get my hands on for days.  Not such a good plan, right?

So… I have decided for each mini goal I meet I’m going to do something for one of YOU!  This first time around I would like each of you to post a comment about what YOU would like as a prize for my ability to meet the goal!

BTW, Today… I weighed in.  The results of my first week back on plan are… Drum roll please…

6.5 pounds LOST!

I am now at 416.7 lbs.  ::Does Happy Snoopy Dance::

I kept right at 1500-1600 calories all week and it seems to have done well!

Only 16.7 lbs to go till my first mini goal is met!
