How long did it take until you said to yourself "I got this"?

I lost most of my weight almost three years ago,could stand to lose another 5-7 pounds,but still wake up fearing it will all come back.

I watch what I eat and workout as much as possible but still have guilt if I have a "bad" day.

How long before you were confident you had things under control?

    I have been on maintenance for 4 months and have to weigh myself every day. I am so afraid to gain all the weight back. I watch everything I eat and exercise. I do have events that I know I am going to eat and drink a bit and after, I feel guilty, crappy and spend the next week getting back to my original weight. I am small so I have 1200 cal/day - not much.

    Help!!!
