My Maintenance Pledge

My Maintenance Pledge

I pledge: To not forget how long it took me to come to the decision to go on a diet, or how long it has taken me to lose the pounds I have lost to get where I am now. Slimmer, healthier, happier.

I will strive to continue to eat as healthily as I can every day, while still enjoying my life and the foods I love. (Including, sometimes, the ones that are not good for me, in moderation.)

I will not forget that these changes were made, not just for a short period of time, but for the rest of my life.

I have learned that overeating, even by just a little every day, can add up to extra pounds over a period of time. I will be vigilant and accountable.

Of course you can, I love knowing I can be a small part of someone else's success.

I think maintenance is all about continuing with what got me to this point, continuing to record my meals, weigh my food, and not forget what it took to make it here, so that I won't have to go thru this again.
