As the queen of the yoyo dieters I have to mention -- maintenance is the hardest part and the part I always blow! So don't make my mistake and think you're done -- that was me last summer and in a blink of an eye most of the weight came back.

People who don't yoyo must find that strange, but all I can say is that mindful eating is a day to day thing and the race to goal makes it kind of exciting. Once at my goal weight I experience a bit of a letdown and decide to let my guard down, a couple of weeks turns into a couple of months and then a few months and BOOM wow how'd THAT happen? It's really an odd pattern/problem to have. Definitely one I would like to stop so counting on you to be a good influence on me

CONGRATS AGAIN!
