haha thats what i meant. if i had continued coming to this site (and generally doing the things that i did to lose it in the first place) i know i would have kept it off.

thanks for the encouragement guys!

Congratulations on coming back before all of the weight was regained!!!

Like so many others here, I lost a significant amount of weight (95 lbs) a few years ago and put it all back on (+more). I, too, plan to keep coming back here regularly when (note to self: yes, WHEN) I get to my goal weight. The biggest lesson I learned from this last time around is that for me, weight isn't something that will ever be 'solved'. Eating well for a healthy body might become normal, but I will never trust that my food demons, lurking in the shadows, are ever gone. That was my big mistake the last time and it took just one (albeit significant) personal crisis for the demons to return.

You will do it!!!

You came to the right place for support. You can do this!!

Hey, welcome back! I'm sorry for the derail on the trip but the train is still going full force--HOP ON!

You're in the right place. Welcome back.

DCHound - I loved your comment about "food is just food" I came to a similar conclusion and it has really given me a lot of peace in dealing with the whole food thing
