Not a clothing item, but look what I did today! It's lyrics from a song called "Boston", and I was on the streets of Boston, a few weeks after the marathon bombing, surrounded by the flowers/memorials, when I had my epiphany that I wasn't going to weigh 300+ pounds anymore. These lyrics have so much meaning in my journey, it's not even funny.

Have you transitioned into maintaining instead of loss? I have about 15-20 more lbs to lose before I hit my long term goal (I have lost almost 120 lbs to date) and I am already worried/thinking/stressing about having to change my diet from 'loss' to 'maintenance'.
I have been working so hard and I have a daily routine for calories and it's a bit scary for me to start eating more. Overeating was the reason I gained all my weight in the first place. Any tips or suggestions on how to slowly move into 'maintenance mode'?
I've been doing it for a few weeks now, and I've got to say that it is FAR less stressful to me than weight loss mode was. I think that's because once I reached my goal (which was a somewhat arbitrary number), I stopped stressing over the scale and moved emphasis to how I look and feel. I still step on the scale each week, but it's more for a gut check than anything else, and I'm finding it stays pretty steady, maybe swinging a couple of pounds in either direction, but hovering at my goal. I've crept my calories up VERY slowly, so even after a month, most days, I only eat about 1400, although I go out to dinner with my husband once a week and now get what I actually want. I will keep inching up calories slowly as long as everything stays in check. And, of course, I still track everything faithfully in my food diary. That's how I'm managing the fear -- as long as I know what I'm consuming (and can point to the issue if the scale goes up), then I'm finding my fear subsiding as I show myself each day that I can actually eat and maintain control.
I want to keep this to refer back to when I reach my goal. This makes a lot of sense and takes the fear out of maintenance. Awesome!!0 -
