Its scary out there
I am on my first full week of maintenance, 2nd week since goal. And its a struggle. Its almost a feeling of, now what?
I’m not really having any hunger/overeating issues, I am still playing around with points, etc. But I feel like I have been in jail for the past 2 years and now I have been let out back into the world with no place to go and no job. I feel very lost.
I was told this is normal but I dont like it. I have found that WW’s is great for losing but not worth shit for maintaining. I mean their instruction and such. They need meetings just for lifetimers. And alot more material.
So what I have said all along about losing the weight is the easiest part, well its true. Keeping it off will be the hardest. I’ve just got to figure it all out. Thank goodness I have a good leader who is willing to answer my panic ridden text messages and emails at any time of the day.
But dont get me wrong, I am very thankful to be where I am so dont think otherwise. I’m just very scared. Its so easy to gain, dont we all know that!?!
Take care my buddies!

It is very true!! The maintaining and keeping what we lose off is the HARDEST HARDEST PART!!!! And we don’t have a lot of resources.
I find that during this period, it’s important to be realistic about food goals, exercise and daily life.
Good to see you hon!
Good luck! I am also just starting out and I hope I can keep with it. I am trying hot yoga and I love it and I am also on a new suppliment called Metarevive and it is awesome. I really feel like this is my time. Hopefully we can all succeed.
Hmmm…I just read a book called “Joining the Thin Club” that is entirely dedicated to the “Now what?” aspect of maintaining, particularly after a big loss! It’s not the most well-written, and I got it as inspiration (long way to goal for me!), but you might be able to use it as a practical guide!
CONGRATS on goal!
