The best thing about it is that the more days that have passed the more I have accepted that even if I didn't lose that 20lbs up to the exact day it's ok as I am working towards it and I will get there. This isn't some diet that will only last until my wedding day then I go back to my old ways, it is going to completely change my life and the way I use/think about food! I don't feel the pressure to lose X amount of pounds, I have set myself the goal as I think this is good for weight loss and to give direction but I am not going to break down if I don't lose it as I know I will have still lost weight!
I am very confident that I can lose 20lbs in 8.5 months but without any pressure on myself I think this will help. I can't tell you how relieved I am to have found this at this point in my life.
My other goal is to have had a complete mind shift and undo all my bad thoughts and habits about weight, image and food before I'm 30, I'm 27 now so this gives me 3 years of building good habits. Bring it on
