Good Morning. Good news I am still in the 188's. Up .2 lbs but that is OK. This is the lowest I have been in a long time. I am trying to enjoy the journey and not focus so much on what I weigh. This is not all going to stop once I reach my goal weight. This is a way of life I cannot go back to secret eating and snacking. I have to remain faithful to journaling and recording my food. I have people saying when I finish I can go back to normal. What is NORMAL? I think I am normal and just changing the way I look at food. I know it is a process and I will never be finished. I may maintain my weight but always be aware of what I put into my mouth. Sometimes that makes me mad that I have to do that but the if I do not the consequences will be gaining weight again. That is not acceptable. Thanks for listening to me. Sometimes I have to remind myself of where I was and where I am going. Talk to you later.

Does an alcoholic stop being an alcoholic when they've reached sobriety for any period of time? You could just as easily be talking about alcohol as food. For us, the challenge is food, not alcohol (or something else). That's our reality. You're right, we will always be dealing with that reality in someway; and that's ok. It is a journey, and the real goal is not a specific destination (weight-loss goal or "Normal") our reward is the experience of looking around from time-to-time (the more often, the better), and observing that we are "content", something we were not before beginning this particular journey. Personally, I believe "contentment" is often underrated and overlooked while we are striving for "happiness". Well, that's my philosophical 2-cents this lovely Saturday morning. I'm at the beginning of my journey and just want to thank you for the encouragement of your example.

Thanks for the encouragement. I like your analogy. I do have to remember where I have come from and enjoy the success and the moment. Have a great week-end.
