    Thanks so much for sharing your story. I am pretty close to goal, and I am really scared of maintenance. I don't want to fall into any bad habits and have the weight sneak back on. IF you can do it while going through "stuff," surely I can do it too.

    Keep up the good work. And good luck w/ your continuing journey.
    I was afraid of it too. I had no idea how to eat more than I was to lose...but not eat too much. But I found the balance.I had also made a promise to myself to not be obsessive about it. To not just focus on being skinny and never enjoy life. So I gave myself a "leeway". I enjoy holiday foods, fun, etc...and just keep it somewhat in control and exercise a lot. Making "the norm" be healthier and better for you and exercising as much as you can allows for the fun times too. Lets face it, food is a fun part of life. I didn't want to never have birthday cake or holiday fudge, etc...I just balance it out. Again, it's not all or nothing.

    Best of luck!! :)

    Congratulations in successful maintenance especially with some extremely stressful life situations. I love the quote about change. Do you know where that came from?
