I reached my overall goal of 185, almost 40 pounds lost - unbelievable! I’m comfortable in a size 16, need to buy new clothes. I’m still eating about 20% of HMR diet foods each day; still have a shake every morning and usually have an HMR oatmeal and a bar each day, but sometimes I go days without an entree, mostly eating Healthy Choice Power Bowls with or without added veggies. I eat 3-5 bananas every day, and usually apples, pears, clementines and even fruit cups, and I’m eating about 3 servings of nuts or seeds each day (walnuts, slivered almonds, pumpkin seeds). I feel good at this weight and I feel I can maintain it without suffering.
But still I’m scared. I could gain it all back in a month if I lose control. I’m afraid 1 Margarita or brownie could spin me into a free fall, my blood sugar could go wild and force me back on that roller coaster of binging on junk day in and day out, and not caring. I’m reading a lot about maintaining, setting goals for exercise so I don’t quit, visualization ahead of certain events and planning for obstacles. Maintaining will take as much effort as losing.
