I remember getting to the point when I only needed to lose 10 more lbs. and that is when I gave up and went back to my old ways...I look forward to being a featherweight and dread it all at once...am I weird?!?!?!

Not at all. Being a featherweight is great but staying a featherweight is a pain. I have the occasional dark moment when I think it would be worth weighing 20 pounds more again just so I wouldn't have to worry or care about what I eat, but at the moment I am beasting for a fresh home cooked meal after a couple weeks "off."

I recall battling with those last 10 lbs for what seemed like forever, I got in to the mindset that I didn't look so fat and terrible, I looked much better....still not where I wanted to be, but still not too shabby so I allowed myself to slack off way to often.

Ill be happy when I get to needing to only lose 10 more lbs

I feel the same way. I got on the scale this morning and saw that I had lost an impressive amount of weight in the past few weeks and then was in a really foul mood because

a.) i thought it was a mistake and it must all be water weight

and

b.) that I would never ever be able to maintain it.

I think it's the fear of losing what we've worked so hard to get that keeps us stuck. I'm so scared I'm going to blow this because I feel like I look so much better and yet have a ways to go and a lot of work ahead of me. But it is worth it and I'm willing to risk it all!!!!

For me, those last few pounds are the hardest because when I'm at that point, I feel like I look "ok." So it's a lot harder for me to find the motivation. I figure, "I look pretty decent, so why kill myself?"

I just have to keep reminding myself that I want to look better than "decent." I want to be the hottest girl in the room, dammit! lol

Maintaining is always the hardest for me, as soon as i lose a few pound i go hey! i'm doing good i can slack off! which leads to me gaining it back. ugh. sick of this.
