It blew my mind and scared me half to death. I know I am not alone in the journey, thanks to all of you! :)debiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252867857089161414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042956415601969967.post-70439663398470286832012-12-13T20:12:07.183-06:002012-12-13T20:12:07.183-06:00Oh Pamela, thank you so much.

I am FULL of joy over this! :)<br />I think the key to keeping it off for me and probably for you (this time, which is your last time!! I have faith in you!) is to keep logging it on loseit. That is an easy way to stay accountable! <br />Hugs right back.debiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252867857089161414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042956415601969967.post-76326248290387197752012-12-13T16:19:16.965-06:002012-12-13T16:19:16.965-06:00So true!

I remember going through...You are dead on, Debio! I remember going through the exact same thoughts... you reach goal and Lose It increases your calories by several hundred. Okay so on Friday I can only eat 1300 and on Saturday I can now eat 1800?! Why would I not just gain the weight right back? Really?<br /><br />I really think maintenance is harder. Because it's forever. And your only object is to STAY THE SAME... not lose. Very tricky. Plus the whole emotional aspect of feeling fat and hating your body, then suddenly you are where you always wanted to be... but how do you change your attitude about yourself?<br /><br />So complicated. <br /><br />And, by the way, you CAN have a couple coconut candies now. It's okay. The hard part is not having TOO many and ending up right back where you started. Eating more, but not too much more. Reining in the urges and temptations. Detecting whether you are really hungry or... bored, anxious, feeling deprived, lonely... or just falling back on bad habits.<br /><br />I really appreciate you sharing your journey. We're all in the same boat. Remember that. You are not alone.kathrynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147349692658646661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042956415601969967.post-47888599032128069542012-12-13T09:55:57.248-06:002012-12-13T09:55:57.248-06:00LOVE this!! It is sooo true. Everytime (and ther...LOVE this!! It is sooo true. Everytime (and there have been many!!) that I reach goal, I maintain for awhile. THEN....I somehow become less aware of myself and what I am doing and the weight is back-along with the guilt and recriminations. :( So happy to be able to share this journey with you. You are able to put your thoughts/feelings out there so eloquently. Hugs to youAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675736422206179934noreply@blogger.com
