Food has consumed my life, too, and I'm so sick of it! And now I see that maintaining is hard for just about everyone. Coming from the perspective of needing and wanting to lose weight in the past, it is still very hard to wrap my head around NOT going up and down anymore. This is it. This is my new happy weight. Get used to it. These are tough concepts! You're doing great, Ellie. It will get easier with time, I hope :)Thinspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02282178194538060961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-355378489811045552009-05-03T21:16:00.000+01:002009-05-03T21:16:00.000+01:00Am I really weird for thinking that those little b...Am I really weird for thinking that those little broccoli spears are kind of cute? Oh dear, I need to get a life :P<br />I relate to your problems with maintaining too - I don't really know where my 'set point' should be, having had an eating disorder since early adolescence, and I always underestimate the amount of calories it takes not to lose weight. Of course, once you start losing weight accidentally it becomes so much harder to get back on track too. Bah, this is harder than physics! I don't think it's impossible either, for any of us. Terrifying, uncharted territory, frustrating and very difficult, but other people have done it so it's definitely possible. I hope you have a good bank holiday Monday and that Edinburgh isn't too jam packed with tourists! People always seem to go a bit nuts on bank holidays, especially drivers :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-55433554071179768592009-05-03T18:46:00.000+01:002009-05-03T18:46:00.000+01:00I know exactly what you mean about maintaining... ...I know exactly what you mean about maintaining... I'm convinced that my body just doesn't DO that. It can gain, it can lose, it can't stay the same. I think there's a lot of black-and-white thinking involved there, though... "maintaining" DOES mean a couple of pounds of leeway in either direction, and we just expect it to be the exact.same.number down to the very hundredth of an ounce.<br /><br />Hooray for cooking!! :D<br /><br /><3Cacti Don't Cryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220870673847180330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-2207032280155311132009-05-03T15:25:00.000+01:002009-05-03T15:25:00.000+01:00I can completely relate to how you feel about the ...I can completely relate to how you feel about the idea of maintaining. Like you, I just don't know what it's LIKE. For 4 years, it seems like I've been on a quest to either gain or lose...nothing in between. And here I am now, and it's just beyond terrifying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-7435929039693964332009-05-03T14:38:00.000+01:002009-05-03T14:38:00.000+01:00Great breakfast!

I get so nervous about maintaining that some of my behaviors get a little out of control sometimes. It's really great that you've recognized this. It's awesome that you know what you want out of life. Keep striving for the life you love. <br />Have a great day! <br />Love, <br />Lexilexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993049069241555759noreply@blogger.com
