    If you're hungry all the time, you're doing it wrong.

    I love everything you wrote, but maybe this the best of all. Thank you!

    Awesome-love to see that you've figured out a way to make healthy changes to your life but not change everything and be miserable! You look great (and I love your costume!) It's about living, not suffering! :)

    I don't want to deprive myself for the rest of my life, or struggle with cravings and terror of regaining any ground I've lost. I log everything, even the craptacular stuff, and am accountable for it.

    It's not a diet, it's LIFE.

    One of the BEST posts I have seen so far!!! Hallelujah to not depriving ourselves, I eat whatever I want and I hold myself accountable for it all. I exercise and eat how many ever of those calories back that I want. I am enjoying life and still losing weight. Thank you for showing us all that it CAN be done without making yourself miserable. You rock!!!!

    I love your message! My trainer has finally come to terms with the fact that chocolate is a staple in my diet that I'm not willing to let go of. That's not to say he doesn't make me earn it though:)

    Great Job!!!

    Wow! I love this!! Thank you for sharing. Now I definitely don't feel bad for making some mini cupcakes. I calculated the cals and they're only 60 cals each. A small way to indulge without breaking the bank. Now, if only I could learn the self control to not pop five of them at once!
    But either way, not depriving yourself is the key. Find ways to work it into your calories for the day. It's just a matter of being mindful of what you eat, when you eat it. In WW they say "If you bite it, write it." Same holds true here.

    Thank you SO much for sharing your story. It's truly an inspiration.

    I love your story and totally agree!!! In the almost 3 months that I've been logging in regularly here I've had 1 over calorie day and that was a Halloween party last night. I'm not beating myself up over it.

    I had pizza for dinner, have learned to make tostadas because I love mexican and can still eat what I love and have learned that I can make healthier choices when eating out so that I'm smart and eating well. (did you know that at Chili's the Guiltless grill sirloin steak and broccoli is only 370 calories and that at On The Border you can get 2 tostadas-no rice and beans- for under 400 calories depending on which ones and that their skinny margarita is only 100 calories and tastes amazing?!?!?!).

    I'm not dieting, I'm eating in a way I can maintain while still making positive healthy choices!!! Thank you for posting that this is not a diet but a lifelong positive change in thoughts and choices!!!

    i feel the exact same way about weight loss, and body image as you.

    i went from 165.5 to 125.0 eating some crappy foods, chocolate, and wine at least 1x each day. now in maintenance a lot of people would look at my diary and be scared, but i've been here 8 months, and i am lean and not flubby. sure i don't have a 6 pack, but why do i need it?
