With my ideal weight only technically 1.2 lbs away, I'm entering very uncharted territory here, Folks. Maintenance. In a way, it now feels more daunting than losing weight, especially since my new career path depends on me maintaining a certain physical appearance to be deemed credible enough to give advice to those looking to lead healthier lives. But just like weight loss, accomplishing anything really comes down to goal setting and continuing to educate myself about ways to live an optimally healthy life.

I just have different goals now. Yes, my calories and food quantities may go up, but the rest of the game remains the same. I'm still not going to eat things that aren't nourishing and healing for my body because my goals aren't simply to "keep off weight" and those junky foods, in my opinion, are designed to keep people fat, sick and addicted and have no place in my life anymore.

Some people in maintenance may see it as a time where they can indulge a little here and there in foods which aren't best for them, but I have much more at stake here than just "a few pounds". I didn't enter into this just wanting to shed some unwanted fat. I had some serious healing to do! Packaged foods, devoid of life and nutrients, do little else other than make corporations rich and my loved ones seriously ill. I don't want any part of their deplorable shenanigans anymore. I care too much about myself to even entertain the thought of putting something in my mouth that isn't going to nourish and support my body and my goals. And shame on them for trying to derail my efforts to live a healthy life at every magazine page turn, every billboard, every TV commercial, and their attempt to lure me back into their cycle of "diet, eat junk, fail, get sick, take more pills, repeat". Shame on them.

I have been down the path of chronic illness and obesity and been overwhelmed by the darkness that accompanies it. My eyes have been opened and my life irrevocably changed for the better by educating myself. I know better now. I'm walking away from their dangerous reindeer games. I'm never turning back. Life is too short and too precious to waste it on feeling like I'm not worthy of a fantastic life filled with health, joy, love, laughter and vitality! I'm worth it. And so are you, my dear readers. In fact, we all are.

You're definitely an inspiration to live by.

You've done great - the past couple years have given you the experience to be a living example to clients as you coach and educate them into healthier, fitter ways of living. I would think that adjusting what you've already been doing to meet the challenge of maintenance will help you and keep you right where you want to be. Regardless you will no doubt figure out what you need to do and how to do it. Congrats to you on how far you've come.

You are absolutely right....I say shame on corporations and the food industry, they are killing people with their greed and willfully knowing that a majority of the foods they produce are poison to the body and children of today have no chance at life because all this food is harming them big time.... They make convenience foods for young mothers who are rushing around, whether it be sports or whatever they have to do in their hectic lives.. food is geared around these people and it certainly is not fair to our young society...or anyone as a matter of fact...it truly disgust me when I see what is happening in the food market today..What is wrong with the FDA or the government..shame on them!

I could not agree more!! Your mindset is spot on with mine. It's almost impossible to explain it to people who do not want to give up their fast food and processed meals. Once you make the change to the proper mindset and become un-sick and start to become fit, it's like that scene in the Wizzard of Oz, when everything goes from black and white, to full color! Everything is better!!! I am so happy for you! You rock!

You've done well, and you'll continue to do well. Maintenance is just another one of those "tweaks" to your diet that you've done in the past. Listen to your body and (I don't even have to say it to you) make the responsible decisions on food.

The toughest thing about maintenance is, after so long watching the scale for a loss, it's hard to view 'nothing' as progress.

You go girl!

I totally agree with you! Why would maintenance be "go back to the old"? That doesn't make sense! It's like those people on the biggest loser that drop 100 pounds to gain it back the following year. I love your attitude. It's what keeps you amazing, IMO.

Great point, NM! I'll second that!

give yourself a 5 lb gauge, when the scale goes up, get back on it.

Amen Sweet2th! I'm trying to do the same. The junk food food lobbies and fake food growers are poisoning us. I think food ads should be as illegal as cigarette ads!
