Weddings over, Now What?
The big push for me to lose weight was for the wedding. Now that it's over (Best day of my life, by the way :happy: ) I have every intention of maintaining, but there's no extra "push" if you know what I mean.

Even when I tell myself, not to...it's like the GREEDY me takes over. So tired of the pattern, and always…
