On the way down into maintenance and for the first year of maintenance I was downright petrified. I felt a little insane about just how petrified I was. (like you and many others in this thread)
Completing that first year was super empowering. At this point, 27months, that fear is returning because I recognize some very bad old habits are returning also. So fear is a good thing and it is helping me tow the maintenance line a bit straighter that I have been.
Thanks for starting this thread. I wish I had checked in like this when I entered maintenance, pretty much unable to feel proud because I was terrified of once again, gaining it all back...plus! Today I am at my goal weight. Sure, I'd like to be some pounds lower but I am, at 27 months maintenance at goal weight
