Leann, that's a keeper. One of these days I will be on maintenance. I'm nervous what that will look like. I don't want to throw away a year's worth of hard work.

I was 25 pounds away from my goal weight. Someone more insightful than myself might say I got scarred.
Yup. That can be a factor. I've noticed that, despite how badly I want to get to my goal weight/body fat percentage, there is some apprehension that kicks in when I hit new lows. And I have a tendency of maintaining or bouncing back up at those moments. I'm tired of the journey, but I've known it so long that there is some real fear there.0 -
You don't need motivation, you need consistency. Motivation will give you warm fuzzies, consistency will give you results. You're not going to feel like it a lot of the time, just grind through.0

Some say fate is beyond our command, but I know better. Our destiny is within us. You just have to be brave enough to see it. - Merida0
