Maintenance is going okay. I weighed-in yesterday but forgot to record it here.
Lately I'm staying within a 1 pound range up and down. That seems pretty stable. My body seems to like staying at this weight which gives me a buffer below my goal weight of approximately 4lbs. That is good for me mentally. I don't hesitate to have small, unexpected, 'spur of the moment' treats but also know I can't do it too often. I eat less healthy on weekends, but keep the portions small. I absolutely can't believe I have maintained my weight for so many months. I am cautiously optimistic that my life has truly changed.

I have plenty of loose skin, but look okay in clothes. I consider it a reminder that I was responsible for the weight that stretched out my skin and I'm also responsible for my healthy weight now. I am still surprised when I look in the mirror and shopping for clothes is fun. I have a closet of clothes that all fit and are all one size. That has never happened before in my entire life!

For anyone struggling, I encourage you to find in your heart what you need to do to reach your goal. Be kind to yourself and do what works for you. Life is short so don't be unhappy during your weight loss phase. You might lose days you can never get back. Being thin hasn't solved all of my problems, but it is a relief not to have it 'hanging over my head' every single day. I'm not self conscious about my body and the pain in my joints is mostly gone. That alone, is something I'm grateful for every day.

Hang in there, enjoy life, celebrate your accomplishments and resolve to try again if you have some bad days. Have a great week!
