edited October 2017 in Goal: Maintaining Weight
Today marks my official three years weight maintenance anniversary. This is by far the longest time ever I've had a stable weight. I'm really enjoying this - feeling comfortable in my own body, as well as comfortable with how I eat and move. This is an ongoing process. I am feeling more confident every day, every month, but I'm also getting more humble: Nothing happens unless I let it happen. Maintenance isn't a number, it isn't even just a weight range, it is a state of mind. A happy state of mind. I am grateful - and one of the things I'm grateful for, is MFP and the great community in here. Thank you :heart:

    Hearty congratulations! Looking forward to that day, and I'm so glad to know that the MFP community around maintenance is as strong as it is. THIS is where I go for inspiration and reassurance.

    That's awesome! I want to get excited about maintenance, but honestly I'm a little intimidated by it. It's just such a looooooong time, which I guess is the point. LOL I'm trying to practice the eating habits I know I can sustain for life: eating out, sweets (I'll give them up when I stop breathing and not a day sooner), bread, etc. It's going well, but I'm still nervous about it. I'm taking is slowly now that I'm close to a healthy weight and my strategy is to slide into maintenance without a big transition. That means the last few lbs are going to be painfully slow.

    Hearty congratulations to you...You're an inspiration.
