    It is hard. And it continues to be hard even after doing all that work. Because if you don't keep working, the weight comes back. It is also frustrating to be at maintenance and people think you can eat whatever you want, etc. But I have to say, it is so worth the effort! I wish I had made the effort to get healthy long before I did. I don't believe in regrets, but that is as close to one as I will get!

    YOU are AMAZING, with your loss and continued dedication. All the best to you. As long as you're keeping at it, you rant any time you want!! :smile:

    Why do I do what I do when I know what I know? If only it was lack of knowledge that was the reason for being overweight. It's not easy and I really wish I was one of those people that ate only when hungry and stopped when satisfied. But alas each day is a challenge though some days are easier than others.

    ^ This - exactly.

    Also - even when you try to follow what is right - and I do - you find yourself "stuck" - then you have to change it up and *hope* that the change you put into effect will be the right one - wait 6 weeks, nope - then move on to another "change" to get it moving again.

    Dedication to your health is what keeps you going every day.

    Congratulations on all of your dedication and yes, it is hard.
