It's so true, when I'm not "using" food for something other than fuel, I can interact with the person and the be in the moment much better. <br /><br />If I didn't make my lists ( I know they are repetitive) I'd be right back on the old re-gain cycle. :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454945489632370863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-67415749935111360382014-06-15T08:53:06.753-07:002014-06-15T08:53:06.753-07:00KC.. I hear you. There is a lot of power and "...KC.. I hear you. There is a lot of power and "good feelings" that come with taking a plan, doing, and looking at the outcome. Then repeating or continuing on. A very wise person once told me "What got us here (good or bad) may not be the thing that keeps us here. It applies so much to me to maintenance. Very narrow operating window- IMO.

And the...Food should help us make us feel our best. And there is really no good reason to eat food that makes us feel anything but our best, no matter what the occasion. I, too, used to "justify" eating certain foods because it was a "special occasion" (and we are so good at coming up with endless special occasions...). <br /><br />Now, special occasions are about the people for me. I usually don't eat anything because most gatherings fall outside my eating window. And I actually the company a lot more! <br /><br />I always love your what's working/what didn't work in the past lists!

It's been a stressful time and I've lost my focus. Thank you for THIS post today. After maintaining for 4 years, this 15 - 20 lb gain has GOT to go! You inspire me Karen. I know what to do.
