Is maintaining harder than weight loss?

It's not harder, people just lack motivation and give into temptations. If you haven't healed your relationship with food, you'll never keep it off. I read somewhere that it can take upto 7 years for your body to fully adapt and naturally maintain lost weight. Something to do with how the fat cells and how it takes a long time for them to shrink, as we all know overweight/obese people have bigger fat cells even after the weight is lost. If you don't plan to change for the rest of your life, it is hard to maintain. I've had to have 3 binges that lead me to gain huge amounts of weight to realize that it's a long term now on. That my friends,occasions and family are not worth me going back to hating and destroying my body. I'll have slip ups, but have already made a deal that i'm not allowed more than 1 serving plate of food outside of my house. Once those seven years are up, then i'll be more lenient :drinker:
