*SlimmerMe's Progress Log*

[gbrice75]

no wonder I couldn't find any....I looked and looked all over the place including the baby food area...

Think about it... if it doesn't have sugar, how could it be real apple juice, since the natural fruit is basically sugar??!!

My energy is great but probably not because of the greens since I just started to really take them. Had to try various ways to tolerate and finally settled on the 40% sugar free apple juice.

And my body? just tried on a skirt which I could not even get near to buttoning up last year before starting this. Wore it yesterday with a safety pin holding it up otherwise it would have literally fallen off. I am not kidding. I am thrilled.

love the dedication to logging in chicka!

Thanks Sexy. I kinda have to otherwise I notice I start getting a bit sneaky. I thought maintaining was supposed to be easier!

[RaginCajun]

i totally understand about clothes falling off. i need to go buy new slacks and such because they look baggy on me. glad to hear that the inches are gone! notice i said gone!

Maintaining 25.4 lost

and from what I understood maintaining was supposed to be easier....

[gbrice75]

First, congrats. Second, is maintaining your current plan? Finally, why are you finding it to be harder or as difficult as losing?

Thanks.

Trying to maintain for at least another month before I head outta the corral to go for another "challenge" round..
and quite honestly I am finding it a bit more difficult to maintain as opposed to losing. Seems the minute ya lose it, ya start to get sneaky assuming all is okay. So the mindset of "keeping it off" is another challenge in itself. Plus it seemed when I was losing I was more stringent and focused with more of a specific goal.

Does this make sense?

Yes, and this is pretty much what I expected you to respond with.

So we can agree that the actual ACT of maintaining isn't more difficult than losing, but the mindset changes - and this is where you have to learn to control your mind (I do too).

It's easy to become complacent without a specific goal, however this is where we need to be strong - we can't make a bunch of allowances because we know we'll gain.

I don't know if i'm making sense or not... but maintaining is a goal within itself - just a different goal.

Got cha~ thanks Gbrice

Bottom line: Maintaining ='s LIFESTYLE......

and this is the crux of the matter.....

i was awaiting to hear that word from you, LIFESTYLE!!!!!!! it is what it is now, and you have made the necessary changes in your life that make you think like this. your mindset has changed, therefore, your lifestyle has molded to it!

Yes it is a harsh reality and oddly enough finally have in my psyche they are ONE in the SAME.

It recently 'clicked' for me. This is how I live now. It's not a temporary thing.

I suppose I was kinda thinking (hoping) maintenance was a step down from Lifestyle. WISHFUL THINKING!

and precisely why I am doing maintenance before my next round so I TRUST MYSELF to KEEP this OFF once and for all!

One thing you can do is if you have a craving during the week ( i have a cheat meal/day saturday) I write it down and say i can have that on my cheat day..

When that day comes, i typically don't have what's written down but it does stop the feeling that i'm denying myself and works well for me..

100% true - I used this method myself, and when the cheat time came around, I really didn't feel much like having what I wrote. But at the time I wrote it, I felt like I was only delaying it, vs. telling myself NO.

I don't like the term maintaining myself, I like to look at it like, either i'm droppin off fat or i'm gaining muscle. As soon as I step off the pedal a little bit, I lose all disipline. When in the past I thought, "yeah I look good I'll just maintain" I turn to shite.

Interesting take on this. A little note though: I have never even tried to "maintain" before which has gotten me in trouble. So all of this is new. Appreciate it.

Happy to hear about the skirt... Must have been a big lift and everything all worth while!

[oatmeal69]

What's the story with all the sugar in the fruit you're eating? I can't find a definitive answer as to whether that's good or bad...
