I have two higher calorie days and I am hanging around the same weight. It feels very strange to eat more calories. However, I am eating when I am hungry and making good choices so I will continue to see how this works. We are going out tonight so we'll be eating dinner out ... alcohol will be involved ... and dancing!! This is certainly a new chapter in my journey ... having fun but not going absolutely NUTS and maintaining weight. I am confident that I will succeed this time. I am doing what I need to do. And, if 175 is meant to be it will be but if the 185 range is where I settle I am working on accepting that. Goals are important but so is respecting my body and learning how to accept. This is different than accepting my BIG body. That was a part of the journey. Now it is about accepting a smaller body, learning how to see myself as I am, realizing that other people's definition of "health" isn't necessarily the definition I need to embrace. And so, on I go. Into another day. I am looking forward to this weekend. Out tonight with my husband to have some fun. Shopping tomorrow for the wedding with my mom. We need to find something for her to wear to my niece's wedding on July 3rd ... since she too has shrunk considerably over the past 5 months. We'll have fun. It has been a while since we shopped together and I know she likes to have my opinion about what looks good on her!! We always have fun together!! I am so blessed in that way!! I hope today is a good day and you each are finding your way on your respective journeys. Take care of yourselves and remember, you deserve to feel good about who you are!!

Gee Jim ... I bet your wife enjoys shopping and dancing!! LOL!!! Fortunately I have women friends who like to dance too so the husband can watch, at least some of the time ... and the shopping is with mom so husband is spared!!! And indeed ... to each their own!!

Actually she probably does like to dance more than I do but she is such a homebody that it really never comes up. She doesn't really even like to go out to eat which actually helps a lot when I am watching things closely. The shopping is really the fun one. My wife is an Optometrist and I am amazed how many of her clothes...I am talking office clothes, come from swaps held by the homeschool group. The best thing about it they are nice clothes, usually that someone has gained wt and can't wear anymore. She looks great always professional but I bet the last shopping in a mall she did was 5 years ago...amazing how different people are.

I am actually not a fan of mall shopping. It is sensory overload!! But, duty called ... had to find something for mom to wear to the wedding we are going to in a couple of weeks. It was a LONG, LONG day!! The dancing however I did completely enjoy!! The clothing swaps sound great!! You are a lucky man!
