    Be aware that while the weight loss journey may end when hit your goal weight/size, the weight control journey does not.

    Amen, maintenance is another battle of its own:drinker:

    We are only a victim of our own choices; if we don’t succeed, it is because we have chosen something else over our success.

    I don't have to feel hungry or deprived in order to lose weight.

    This was a big one for me too!

    losing weight is a victory, not gaining weight is still a success.

    i wont starve just because im hungry

    You should't be hungry. A successful diet is one that keep you full and satisfied.

    I fail if I'm hungry. I need to eat. If I make the right choices, I'm never hungry.

    Be honest with yourself.

    Lying to your food diary hurts no one but yourself.

    I know this sounds shallow but I want to run into my ex when he constantly made fun of me with the name calling and mental abuse about my weight. I had just had our baby and struggling to lose my last 15 lbs. I learned to appreciate now a wonderful husband who supports me and encourages me in what ever struggle I have..

    If I don't log everything, I'm only lying to myself.

    I've learned that gaining occasionally (even on my best weeks) is part of the process, so be patient!

    This is why I have started logging even on the bad days when I go over my goal.
