In order to keep myself sane and see that number as something 'do-able' I break it down in my mind based on previous experiences with weight loss.
The most I ever weighed over the years prior to pregnancy was 150lbs. I put myself on a diet and lost 23lbs in a couple of months' time. This was only a couple of years ago. I was not exercising, just counting calories.
I will weigh 150 in just 14 more lbs. From there I only have 20 more to go in order to reach my goal of 130. I've done it before, EASILY.
I also compare my previous weights with times I was happy with myself. These times I felt I should lose some weight, just to be more fit or 'skinny' but I didn't feel overweight. I was happy with myself.
On my wedding day, I weighed 144lbs.
Our October 2010 trip to Hawaii I weighed 138lbs.
I can weigh what I weighed on my wedding day in 20lbs. I can weigh what I weighed 10/2010 in 26lbs. My ultimate goal is 130lbs. This is mainly to give myself more wiggle room away from the 141 overweight mark.
Seeing my weight broken down puts things into a more do-able perspective. I can do it. It's really not that much weight and I can do it in just a few more months' time.
