"3 Strategies to Prevent Relapse After Reaching Your Goal Weight"

[WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444]

The subject of what to do upon reaching goal weight comes up often enough. This easy read from SparkPeople.com may answer some of the questions on the mental and behavioral nuts & bolts rather than what to eat.

The writing is terrible (like they purposely wrote it as obtuse as possible to try and keep you on the site long enough to click on advertising) but the information once you can pick it out, is sound.

I focused on being healthy, eating healthy and living a healthy lifestyle over losing weight the whole time. It has made it easier to feel like this is a way of life and not a diet or a temporary thing.

I have made peace with the fact I will have to track my food for the rest of my life, and I am cool with it.

I post here to stay connected to my WLS and to try and help other people. IRL I try to avoid talking about weight loss and exercise because most people aren't really into the hard work, and I can't hide rolling my eyes in real life.
