ade903- This is the same struggle I have had. It's funny how whenever you find a way to verbalize or put things down they are so much more likely yo occur. That's why I needed to post this thread today. I needed to put it out there that I was forgiving myself. Though I still feel dissappointed that I was off plan for about three days, it doesnt help me if I beat myself up. I punish myself by eating poorly I think. Ha ha. Maintaining is in itself a big feat. I admire people who lose weight quickly and just keep at it until the weight is gone. I would like to be one of those people. But I'll be perfectly happy even if I lose weight and have maintenence periods like you are. I tend to lose wieght then gain some back. I'm up about a pound as of this morning
