One Year Anniversary

It's really easy to maintain, since I don't crave certain things anymore. I
am really used to eating this way, and my stomach gives me trouble when I
veer off in the wrong direction. I can't even imagine eating sweets, it
just seems like poison to me.

Yes, "poison in pretty packages" is a phrase I learned from Overeaters Anonymous and
it certainly applies to me. Big congratulations on your anniversary, Debby, and your
good work on maintenance!

It took me about 8 months to reach my current weight. I just kept my
calories at or below 1200 a day. I would eat cheerios w/ 1% milk for
breakfast, a chicken breast for lunch, or cottage cheese w/ wheat bread &
butter, and for dinner I would have fish or something I call a breakfast
burrito(made w/ a flour tortilla, sauteed onions, celery, egg & salsa).
I
would also eat apples for snacks, or bananas, just some fruit. Or
sometimes
I would have low-fat wheat crackers w/ tuna mixed w/ low-fat mayo spread
on
top, sometimes some green olives thrown in the mix. I kept track of how
many calories I was taking in at www.nutrawatch.com, I just signed up for
the free account.
Thanks for the congrats, and good luck to you!


Sounds good, and very well done for *keeping* it off for four months -
you're probably set for life now!
