Well, this weight is my "eat what I want when I want (but don't go crazy)
and only do a minimum of exercise" weight. It's nice to know that in my current way of life, eating mostly low-carb and exercising regularly is just normal now, and what I'm doing when I'm not even trying is enough to keep me from gaining past this point. Because I haven't been pushing myself to stop eating even when I'm still hungry, and I haven't been pushing myself to do more exercise or higher intensity exercise, I feel like I've been on a break, even though this "break" is nowhere near as unhealthy a lifestyle as I had pre-lc. Pre-lc, if I wanted a snack, I'd eat a whole bag of potato chips. In my "not trying to lose weight" phase as of late, if I want a snack I have some almonds, pistachios, cheese, or steamed buttered broccoli, something like that. During "weight loss" mode, if I want a snack, I just butch up and go do something else.

Paleo and weight 173 is probably the sweet spot for me. i In article , Luna wrote: Ok, cool. It's been about 6 weeks since I quit smoking, and I gained some weight but it seems to have stabilized. I went from 149-151 pounds to 156-158, and it's been holding steady for about 2 weeks now. I increased aerobic exercise for a few days but I hated it so I went back to just doing the weight training and walking. I've quit binge eating, but other than that I haven't been consciously restricting how much I eat. I've had a few carby splurges, like a 20g carbs chocolate bar once or twice a week, (I wasn't low-carb at all at Dragoncon this past weekend, but I was also far more active than usual, so I don't think it hurt me.) Never went completely off low-carb, just less strict than when I was actively trying to lose weight. Seems my body has stabilized at this weight for now, and I feel mentally and emotionally stable, so it's time to nudge up the exercise and nudge down the eating, and get back into the losing game. ) -- Michelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws.
