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.


I hear ya. I have the same issue. I've been working out steadily since
October and have nearly made my goal, but I still feel guilty when I
don't go to the gym (which is rare). I can totally see slipping back
into old ways so I know what you mean about this.
