I've been with LA for the past 9 nine months and am ABSOLUTELY THRILLED to say that I've made my goal--lost 86 lbs. Now, I must admit that I am scared of the future. Perhaps others can relate to this idea--I've lost weight before and let it gradually creep back on. I don't want that to happen again. It was much, much harder since I'm approaching the big 5-0!
I need advice. How do you move on? I'm doing the stabilization thing with LA, but I had an AWFUL weekend away staying on program. I passed up so many things and felt really, really cheated. My weight, and whether I will gain, lose, or remain the same, is on my mind almost constantly, and it's making me CRAZY!
If there are others who have reached maintainence, I could sure use some ideas for how to not be quite so obcessive or at least some assurance that I will learn to quit thinking so much about food and feeling "cheated" so much as I get used to the new me and my new lifestyle eating habits.
For those of you still losing, keep going! I have read so many hopeful things and have read so many supportive ideas. I've appreciated, and will continue to appreciate, it all!
