That is well put. I have been UP there now twice. So I know what's
possible. But I also know I have a lot more tools as far as food
consumption. Now, attitude, mood, spirit, whatever might have more
power behind it then just the tools. So it will need constant
monitoring and vigilance.

I wish us all the best of luck and discipline.

Gotta tell you, I don't understand what your sister said. Do you think

meant that when you get to 155, you will want to weigh less than that?

Yes, that is what she meant. That each time I move the line down for
"safety" I might want to move it down just a bit further so that I
draw a new safety line and don't approach the OLD one - like 164, oh,
well, 160, hmm, 158..... 155, 154?. So maybe shooting for 155
should be just a rough idea and hovering now would be fine. Up a
pound down a pound. I know the rules. I occasionally break the rules
but not really as I quickly try reining it back in. Like purchasing a
Costco Fruitcake today (g) It is sliced and frozen save the one piece
I have already eaten. And I probably "chawed" half a bag of gummy
bears last night and these are not tiny bags.


Just this part, clipped the rest. I can see myself not ever being "done"
just from the terror of going the other way. I am going to set my "back to
journalin" number at 160, and let it be. I too have not been journaling
this past week and I am at a new low. I think this just takes daily weigh
ins, and a willingness to go back on program when the one sixes show, and
hanging around here to keep the focus. I really have a hard time believing
this. I was somewhere yesterday and someone I did not know well said
something that caused me to say something about being fat They looked at
me and said, "YOU AREN'T FAT!" I had to laugh
I forgot. I'm not.
