    This is what people who are maintaining need to hear. Live the life of a thin, healthy person.. even after you've reached your goal weight, it is still a mental leap to see yourself as a thin, healthy person.

    Thank you ShannonMpls. You are truely an inspiration. I am new to MFP ( or should I say new the 2nd or 3rd time around)

    I have never heard anyone talk like it is a lifestyle instead of a diet. I have always said it was a lifestyle but i never had the information to begin . And `Get the ****over it` , Wow, so true.

    Today, I got the **** over it`. I have started my life.

    What a gift this post is.

    I'm looking forward to reading the rest of your blog.

    It's so refreshing to hear someone talk about weight loss in a common sense way. Your "habits" point particularly hit home for me. I just sometimes get overwhelmed when I think about the number of habits I need to change and new ones I need to develop!

    Thank you for sharing this. Best wishes for your continued health and success!!

    Shannon, your story and insights are one of the most inspiring I've read in a long time!! There are times when I read a post on this forum where I get so excited about what I read I can hardly sit in my chair. Your post is one of those and it will be bookmarked and read again and again. Thank you!!! :cry: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    LOVE :heart: :heart: :heart: the Julia Child quote!!! Just last night I was telling my husband that what I'm doing is not a diet. I've done diets (over and over and over) and have failed! This is a lifestyle. This is a choice to be a better me. And I will NEVER give up the joy of eating great food. I will however give up the pasty nastiness that is a McDonald french fry. :tongue:
