YES!!!! It is consuming. I think the first thing I need to do is work on this. I need to focus on something else, but still keep my focus. It's actually giving me anxiety. I don't know if it's knowing I'm so close and that maintenance is a whole other effort to embark on that is giving me anxiety or if it's being afraid that I won't get there or if I do it won't be enough.

Why not relax a bit and just maintain where you are

Including my pregnancy I've been at this for 4 years, it just needs to be done. I also can't afford to keep buying new clothes, I need to start getting some permanent pieces that I know I'll be able to keep a while.
On another note, I was forced to go get some new pants today. I got 3 pairs, ALL 10's! I was inbetween a 10 and 12 a few weeks ago, now an "official" 10. That for me is a goal in itself. I haven't been a true 10 since high school! Getting into a 10 has almost been more of a goal than the weight itself. It is really making the real for me, I've actually done it, I've lost this weight. Sometimes I wasn't sure it would ever happen! So today gave me a little boost and I'm planning on tighting up on my cals (I've been a little lax lately) and pumping up my intensity on me strength training. I'm hoping I can get these 10 off in the next 6 weeks or so and then reevaluate. I may need to push for 15, because I think 10 will put me just on the edge of a size 8 and I hate being inbetween sizes. Or maybe I'll go a little less and stay in a solid 10...who knows.
