Maintaining!

I haven't posted for awhile, but I just thought I'd pop in to say that I am successfully maintaining my weight loss for the first time in my life.  It's been over 2 months and I have gotten into a very comfortable routine of eating the right foods and having a treat only once in awhile.  I continued to lose past my goal weight and have leveled out at about 132.  Some days are higher, some lower, but if I gain even a few pounds, I really watch for a few days and it comes back off. 

Most of my fluctuation is water, not food related.  I am eating just around 1,400-1,500 calories a day.....at least that's what it is when I check.  I've never been a good food journaler....I've tried everything to make myself do it, but I just don't seem to have it in me to write down everything I eat.  What I do, though, is to keep my food simple.  I eat two meals of meat and vegetables, have a piece of fruit and something dairy, and I continue to eat Medifast supplements in between.  I eat 6 times per day and don't snack.  It's really easy to remember what I've had so far in a day because it's so simple.  Once in a while, I add a piece of bread or other grain, but not often, because that stuff has always been a trigger for me.  Once in a blue moon, I give myself a free meal or dessert, but I can count on one hand those occasions.

Don't be afraid of maintaining if you are willing to change your eating habits permenantly.....it's been a breeze so far.
