And the sooner you do it the less weight you have to loose. This is not a perfect world. you should know you are doing a wonderful job and this is NOT a diet but a lifestyle. Every now and then go out and splurge have what you want but get right back to reality. Its all about the choices we make. I'm in Vegas capital of the Buffets I think I'm gonna splurge but find myself making the right decisions on what to eat. Eat what I want in small portions, use salad plates portion control YOU can do it girl loose that last 10-20lbs you are a true champion!!! I started WW at 239lbs now at 209lbs hit a few bumps in the road,but when people say hey have you lost weight great satisfaction now that's like a drug also, I Like it. For me 10-12lbs more, they will be the hardest but I'm down for the challenge. Besides I like the <br />Man in the mirror :) !!!!!

Once I gain the 20 lbs, I start all over again by tracking my food. It is very frustrating to realize that this appears to be the only way to maintain my weight. It is exhausting keeping up with it. Right when you feel like you have it under control, it happens again. I feel your pain! Please know you are an inspiration. Even if you have put things on hold for a little while you realize it is time to get back on track. Together we will take control!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828406306548658866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311378112082969638.post-31933966803318684612013-05-28T23:35:33.150-04:002013-05-28T23:35:33.150-04:00I am convinced that it's more difficult to mai...I am convinced that it's more difficult to maintain weight than it was to lose it. <br />I gained 20-some lbs while I was in college the last 2 years. I graduated in December and then went back to Weight Watchers. (I'm a lifetime member since 1985) The points plus system was new to me. I did well and lost the weight in about 2 months. I'm wearing my old jeans again! I am also having days where I don't want to think about points and measuring portions and write down everything. After this holiday weekend, I was up 2.5 lbs. I constantly remind myself that I like being this size and that I don't want to go back. I like how my running is back to how it used to be. I really like the new jeans I recently splurged on! I ran a 5K in the cute running skirt that I couldn't wear last summer. This week it's that next week I have to weigh in at Weight Watchers. <br />I think the most important thing is to get right back on track when you have a bad eating day. <br />The fact that you are monitoring your weight and that you announced your gain to all of your readers is going to help you to get back on track. <br />Just keep at it; you will overcome this!!

I have to reinstate the "no eating after 7 pm rule," again, because I can snack, fall asleep, wake up and grab something else on the way to bed. And reading and re-reading success stories helps!<br /><br />Congratulations on makeing the list! I saw Lori (Finding Radiance), Mary and Katie on there as well.Frickin' Fabulous at 40https://www.blogger.com/profile/14853674225662132643noreply@blogger.com
