    Now i have what i call my stoplight theory. I have a green light weight, yellow light and red light. I know that when i hit my yellow light weight i need to evaluate what i am doing and make some small changes. I try never to hit my red light weight.

    Leann, that's a keeper. One of these days I will be on maintenance. I'm nervous what that will look like. I don't want to throw away a year's worth of hard work.

    I was 25 pounds away from my goal weight. Someone more insightful than myself might say I got scarred.

    Yup. That can be a factor. I've noticed that, despite how badly I want to get to my goal weight/body fat percentage, there is some apprehension that kicks in when I hit new lows. And I have a tendency of maintaining or bouncing back up at those moments. I'm tired of the journey, but I've known it so long that there is some real fear there.

    You don't need motivation, you need consistency. Motivation will give you warm fuzzies, consistency will give you results. You're not going to feel like it a lot of the time, just grind through.
