40
pounds in one year is definitely doable. Back when I started losing weight, I had the joy of losing 10
pounds the first month and then...well....let's just say as the months went by, my
body was a weeeee bit more stubborn at dropping continued weight. Thus, I'm now content with losing only a few
pounds a month and don't angst any more over the time involved.
Since you have an iron-clad
goal for next October, you might want to give yourself a clever helper or two (my term for anything that assists you in attaining your
goal). For example, I love neon pink sticky notes that I can tack to my computer or my mirror or my front door - I'll write on them whatever I need to motivate myself. 'Witness the magic' is one (long story about that!), '126 or bust!' is another (my target weight
goal) etc.
The thing to remember is you are in control...if you choose to be.
Best wishes for your future success,
Barbara
