It's pretty amazing what the weight loss journeh can teach you. Some threads here are making me reflect on important things I've learned other than portion control.

For me the biggest deals were goal-setting, & the importance of habit/grit/persistence as they relate to achievement.

I feel I've been able to transfer that stuff to other areas of life. (There have been lots of other things, some interpersonal, some related to self-esteem, but in terms of useful skills, goal-setting was a super important one I'm glad I got to, however late.) Now I'm learning other things. You?

    I agree! The sense of completing a goal or a set is an amazing feeling! Just love the sense of accomplishment! And look as well. ;)

    What I have learned from my weight loss journey: contrary to real life, a lot of women on mfp find me sexy.

    Other than that, not much for me to really learn from it. The goal and discipline and all that stuff had to be learned years ago. Otherwise I wouldn't have an engineering degree.

    so far biggest lessons learned were--- its ok to put the nutella down...theres always dark chocolate!
    also to control how much im eating and to know when to stop eating a meal before the overwhelming "i stuffed all this food and now it hurts'' feeling sets it..
    i still have alot to learn but yeah im getting better day by day thanks to MFP!

    I learned that I really was out of shape, because I never realized I was, it just took me getting in shape to see that..
