Is it too Late for me to join you guys! You are singing my song. I went thru stabilization and through 4 months of maintenance and as you say
Life was Great.
And I could cheat a liittle here and nothing happened and so I could cheat a little more - you know the story. The program was so easy for me to follow when I started in July/2008. I've started over so many times - several at the Center. Now if I start I can make it 3 days and then I cave. And I don't have the money or the self-confidence to go back there. I need to do it alone at least until I can get into auto-pilot.
I also got too thin. And I would joke with people saying if only I could find a way to be too rich too. But deep down I knew it too, so I think I wanted to gain a few pounds back. I started in July at 225 with an original goal of 175 - I just wanted to get healthier - I had long since given up the goal of being thin and/or desirable. In November I went into stabilizatiion at 165 and lost 15 additional pounds. But I had gained self-confidence I NEVER knew I had. I just can't believe I can let food take that away from me now. I think I want to be back to 160 or 165 that's 20 to 25 down from where I am right now. Okay - I've gone public with all the Ugly numbers.
I know this Group provides great encouragement and great information. Hope to talk with you all soon.

ps for now the profile picture is from January a year ago, a little weight back on but not a lot.
