Maintaining with pictures!!!
Hello, Some people asked me how my maintenance is going. So far, so good. So far over 3 weeks and doing great. I was worried as I heard that it was worse than the actual losing, but so far for me, I have not found that to be true. I guess alot is because I really did not change much once I got to maintenance. I eat…

Insecurity
Funny, but every insecurity I have had about myself, whether it be looks, weight or what ever, I have heard people on here saying the same thing about themselves. And the funny thing is, I look at those people and think, what are they talking about? they look fine to me. I guess we see ourselves differently than others do.…

Stroke
I remember after the stroke, not knowing if I would even walk again or even end up in an assisted living facility, as I did not know what the outcome would be. I suppose, at that time, even the dr's were not even sure. I was in the hospital for 35 days, 14 of which were in intensive care. Started off in a wheelchair, which…

Setting Goals
Goals, How important in how they have helped me during this time. From the beginning, 17 ½ months ago when I began and looking at 123 pounds to lose, I sat in disgust and thought there was no way that I could lose that much weight. It was just to much to do. So at that time, I decided to break it down into small,…

One idea that worked for me....
Again, my new theory, is if I want to eat something I like that is not in my normal diet, work for it first and use that as a reward after. Yesterday I knew we were having an deep dish apple crumble pie, which I love, but about 310 calories a slice, which I don't like. but I eat t rarely now. So i pretty much averaged…
