That is a really good blog post, and I'm glad you gave us the link. I should go to that site more often; I forgot how good it is. Thanks, Susan!

Great article - big mental assist for me right now, because I'm very "non-linear". I tend to have several months of dieting followed by several months of maintenance (hasn't been much backsliding this time). Nice to see someone who's been so successful say that this is OK and normal. I'm in maintenance right now, and really feeling down because I'm not progressing, but it's just too hard right now.

Great article!
For me, I rarely lie to myself these days. I know exactly when I'm eating too much and I know exactly when I'm not exercising enough.

Very interesting and inspiring. Also funny -
