Finally I've conquered a week of staying on reduced calories. I'm trying very hard not to be overly controlling and to eat what I want in small portions so that I won't feel deprived. Since losing 60 lbs in 2010, this is the second time I've had to lose the same cumbersome 10 lbs and right now I'm thinking, "I do NOT want to have to do this again." I can handle 1-2 lbs but this confuses the people around me. I don't know if I should worry about others yet I feel as though I need to communicate whether I'm going to eat that fatty meal today or whether I want to go out to a place where the word "salad" is a foreign language. One thing I've learned from this 10-lb struggle is I'm learning STILL how to maintain. I've learned that it's a process that's in process! I've had to recall deliberately HOW I managed to stay on a weight loss program in the first place, and why I did it. Keeping in mind the long-term goal is always at the top of my list for being healthy with my food choices.
