A few days off your plan didn't cause any harm and you certainly didn't

Perhaps I should have waited for a day, but I really missed the
exercise, and my friends at the gym. And I had a fear that the longer I
put off resuming my routine, the less likely I would be to resume it.
Anyone else feel this way?

I don't know if I exactly feel like I wouldn't resume it, but after a
few days of slacking off and eating more, it always makes me feel
happier with myself to get back to exercising.

Fortunately for you, Chris, you have been maintaining for two years.
Even though I've been working out for five months, I still don't feel
that I couldn't revert to my old ways. I feel guilty on days I don't go
to the gym, and wonder if this is the start of the slippery slope.
Perhaps this is a needless fear, but it's still a real one to me. It's
very hard to stop acting like a fat person when you are still a fat
person.

But I do agree with you that I feel better now that I've returned to my
exercise routine. Or I will, once the rust comes off. :-)
