I am doing the little yo yo dance here up a pound or 2 up and down weekly. Thank goodness I am not gaining way more. More weight loss is still in the plan, but with about a goal of 10 more lbs to lose, I believe where I am now is realistic and still healthy as long as I don't gain much more. Happy balance and happy with myself is what I need to maintain. In all reality the standard of what is a healthy weight put forth by all the charts really depends on the person's frame and how they carry it. I am not talking myself out of further weight loss, just the realization I am at a decent point as long as I don't gain back the 15-20 I have lost. Fat secret has definately made me realize how to find my center by developing a plan. Nutrisystem facilitated because they are easy. The food is made, calories listed, they tell you how to eat. I needed that to get me on teh right track. By healthy choice in meals, moderation by calorie counting, and exercise I got there. The secret to Fat secret for me is motivation, dedication and maintaining a healthy lifestyle change. It is not so much about sacrifice, but just adapting and changing to something diofferent. Heck yea I still cheat and eat sweets sometimes, don't always make the best food choices, and skip exercising from time to time. But coming back to your plan and not beating yourself up over every cupcake, is what is the secret. Live with what you do, take responsibility and move on. By using FS, writing what I eat and holding myself accountable, I realized how much I was eating in excess calories and see that the power is really in my hands and I am in control to eat well or not. That is what I have been missing is the realization I am in control am not helpless to just mindlessly shovel food in my mouth, and finding the way to balance. Just my thoughts for the day. I appreciate all the FS buddies that share and encourage. I don't plan on leaving anytime soon, I just find that I am not journaling as much lately and wanted to share my thoughts. Peace.
