I'm sure you are enjoying the summer right now. It's been unseasonably warm here 68F (20C) but that has brought local fires (not too close to me). Good for beach walking though. You had sent me a separate email one time but I lost the info- re-email me and I'll respond. LOL. Merry Christmas. :) Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454945489632370863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-47474833623241924232020-12-25T01:08:42.381-08:002020-12-25T01:08:42.381-08:00Nice to see an update and to know you are well.

Thankfully we are pretty much covid free here in New Zealand but I sympathise with what is going on elsewhere (and hope we manage to stay this way here, it could change at any time). Thank you for being a health care worker, stay well and yes do get the vaccine when you can.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856015651957578791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-47493033948986844272020-12-24T08:37:38.894-08:002020-12-24T08:37:38.894-08:00Whoot!!!

When I was starting maintenance I always told myself there were people like Vickie, Sarah (bubbly heart on twitter) and many others, including all the folks that Dr. Berkeley- author of Refuse to Regain book and others in the Paleo/LC world. I TOLD myself I WOULD be one of them, so I applaud your efforts. I used to work in Oncology in the medical lab - still do but support staff now. <br /><br />Lots of post oncology patients at the Low Carb Keto events. Thinking good thoughts for you as you go about long term weight maintenance. Yes... OMG., I'm ready to hit the thrift stores for sure. I love going . One of my long term maintainers, Kim, is post BC also. She is public about it. Find us on Twitter, I'm there and on IG stories a lot. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm ending my side hustle food addiction work today, so more time to blog weight maintenance coming up. Under talked about topic IMO.

I am in my first year of maintenance after 2018 was spent in successfully losing 75#. I had mentally prepared ahead for maintenance, and have been successful so far, thank God! But it's hard to find other people who have DONE it and are doing it for the long haul, as is my hope and my goal. Now that I am at your site, I see you have lots of links to other maintenance resources. Thank you for your compilation! I look forward to checking these out. My long term goal is to continue to stay off of tamoxifen or similar meds after bilateral (stage 0) BC in 2017-2018. My oncology team was so impressed with all the changes in my numbers from 2017 to late 2018 (besides the scale.) Keeping my BMI in normal range, exercising, etc., should give me the same if not BETTER benefit than taking one of these very potent drugs for 5 to 10 years. So I am using every tool out there to stay focused and committed to living healthier. Plus clothes shopping (I'm a thrifter) is so much fun. I certainly did ID with your Halloween candy post. Glad to find you!

So good. :) I had one binge urge when I was exhausted one night and just wanted to throw in the towel and start eating at night. It lasted 15 seconds, told myself, hey you're tired, go to bed. And I did. No acting out my thoughts. Good to hear from you and food sobriety feels good.

I was just having this conversation today with a close friend who is one of the fit, normal sized people I'm friends with in middle age. People seem to just give up the older they get and resign themselves to be heavy. I can eat a little bit of sugar daily now without it leading to a binge (dark chocolate is what I eat), but I get on the scale every day to keep myself accountable. That is very key.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17817568743485129053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-17904053209335940242019-10-26T06:33:08.012-07:002019-10-26T06:33:08.012-07:00Thank you Vickie!!!

And Food Addiction still scares me. So does the movement to stop eating meat. I've got to eat animal protein or I will start to binge again. It only takes a day or two... yikes.

Independant from weight maintenance although there is overlap., as I understand her philosophy. <br /><br />And super yes, plenty of my maintainer friends online are NOT food addicts, and most of my post weight loss surgery friends ARE food addicts, so there's that. Curiously, 100% of my carnivore friends are in remission from food addiction.<br /><br />I'm carnivore adjacent, so about 70% of my food comes from meat, emphasis on red meat, meat of the bone, nose to tail eating. I still seem to benefit from cruciferous veggies, kruat and ancient ways of eating. Very good hungry full signals from meat off the bone, but I feel a little better with the low starch veg, gasp onions and carrots, but I ate those right out of the garden in Indiana. <br /><br />I value your feedback more to come on weight maintenance for my maintenance friends- food addict recovery or not. Thank you and give my best to everyone who thinks my page is cool. LOL.
