Maintaining my weight below my target is harder in some ways than losing weight. I hit my target back in February, so this has been about five months.
My doctors warned me not to lose any more weight because I have Myelofibrosis and the progression of this fatal disease usually shows up in a wasting stage of uncontrolled weight loss. The doctors are suspicious of my claims that I lost 35 pounds through diet and exercise - so they want to see me maintain. Little do they know. I see every week how easily I could gain that 35 pounds back!
Now it is a mental game. I still need to track my caloric intake, but I don't really want to. My compromise is to eat a very consistent breakfast and lunch and then try to practice discipline in my evening meal, even if I do not strictly track everything I eat when I am out or having a special meal.
So far, so good. My mantra must be "healthy habits for a healthy life."
