I wouldn't say I was fat, but I'm young and a little bigger than I should have been. I knew that if I kept up my eating habits, and I would keep gaining and I would…

I'm at goal, but am I too skinny now?
I have lost 75lbs, having gone from 235 to 160lbs. As a 32 year old male at 5'9-5'10 (not had an exact measurement but have self measured against a wall at 5'9.5) BMI shows me as having gone from obese down to the higher end of the healthy range. I know that BMI is often trash talked, but everything official such as the…

I feel like I'm losing control...
This morning, I weighed myself and I'm down a pound. Even though that wasn't my intention(I was 112 and now I'm 110.6),I felt proud, but strangely motivated to eat more. I planned out my food for the day and I realized I have room for all of my favorite snacks (banana, pudding, and granola bar). The problem was, I wasn't…

Missing the thrill of victory
So now that I am in maintenance mode, I find that I sometimes miss the sense of victory in stepping on the scale and seeing the number go down.
