Next Chapter – Introduction

An introduction to a new chapter of my life.

Talking about Goal is something that we like to talk about but likely have a hard time to make it happen.

Obviously, I need to arrange a list for my next stops and that’s what I call… GOAL Setting

Firstly, I need to write this in order to remind myself that Goal needs to be specific! Slowly but surely or in other words require a lot of patience for the process. One example is the biggest change in my life. I can say, one of the things that I successfully achieved was when I lost 20 lbs (around 10 Kg). I used to tell my self that it’s impossible for me to become skinny, and it’s  a no no when you want to set goal. Put aside your doubt. Very important to set small goals for a big one.

Tipsy bitsy about what I did. All started in Summer 2010. I only had 2 classes during summer, did not have any job and rarely went out with friends. It brought my attention to think about my body, my shape, and my health. Seriously, I was 148lbs meaning 68 kg and it’s enough to tell me that I am over-weight. I was always big. I was the tallest girl in class and the biggest. When I was little, my uncle and cousin called me Chendandut (Chendani endut – Chendani Fat). When I was in school, my nickname was Bear. I was always looked like this

I think I was about 65-68 kg? it was taken in January 2009

Aside for wanted to be looked good, I had a wonder to see what I looked if I lose weight. I wanted to see what God has created me. I whined too much about my body size, I did find inconvenience with some positions, and I definitely realized that I was BIG. First thing – Started it. I started swimming.

Oh Baby, after I came out from the pool, my body was in full pained. I even forgot how I got trough it. Maybe, I just kept swimming and swimming and swimming like Dory haha… Then, I started swimming regularly  – almost everyday, an hour. It was not enough of course without narrowing down what I need to eat. I still ate three times a day, but I tightened myself to just one plate – one portion until the word “enough.” I worked a lot to control myself. I weighed myself regularly even I did not swim. My motivation was hit to the max when I found out that I lost nearly 2 kg! It’s like a light bulb in my head saying that I could definitely do it. So, I set small goals.

e.g. Next week, 140lbs

narrowing it down until 125lbs.

Reached the seventh month, I had lost 5 kg, and I began to feel different. Light. Free. Confident.

By the end of the year, I hit 121lbs – 55 kg. It’s actually too skinny? haha, well, my family and friends told me that it was too skinny, so now… I am between 125-128 lbs = 56-58kg. My height is around 168cm – 5’7”? I am not sure haha

…

Goal..

let me start with what I actually want. A big goal. What is it?

I definitely have different goals in life. I want to be a dancer. I want to be a writer. I want to host a talk-show haha. I want to work with Oprah or Andy F. Noya. I want to be a mother. I want to be a support system. I want to be a good daughter.

Right now, I frankly say that I can’t jot down what my small goals yet. It’s still undefined. Hopefully, I am able to read what is written for me, or perhaps, I get the privilege to write my own destiny?

Hm…

Mystery.

Obviously, my theory will not be working with every each of you. However, sharing is not a forbidden thing, right?

I was 68kg I guess. It was taken in April 2010

About 57-58 kg, taken in May 2011

Goal is good…

If I can do it, you too 🙂 Whatever you aim, go for it… step by step.

Behind the notes:

I am writing this to remind myself about the power of motivation and goal setting. I have got trough it, but sometimes I forget how to get trough it again, especially now. Therefore, I am making this post…
