Enormity

Sometimes the sheer enormity of how much I have to lose is hard for me to handle.  I know it is not as much as some but it is still about 100 pounds!  I started at 260 and needed to lose almost 130 pounds, half myself!, to be at the "ideal" weight.
In order to deal with this enormity I have broken my goal down in smaller, more manageable bits.  My first goal is 194 which I hope to make this year and then I'll move on to between 150-130 :-)
I really believe the breaking down the goal makes it more managable and I get less discouraged.  I don't have to lose 100 pounds, I only need to lose 36 and I've already lost almost 30 so that is not that bad right?  I will be SO happy when I have lost more than I need to lose.
