I think people sometimes assume that its easy for you but its not I can tell. But you are doing an awesome job! Especially finding foods that you like to eat that are healthy, great idea!

I like your reference to "old you." There are days where I approach food in a manner "old me" would have, and it's actually quite frightening to have those feelings toward food again. But I at least now can recognize what I'm doing and move forward from there. I've also come to realize that there isn't one person out there who doesn't struggle with food and body image. There are actually few thin women who feel like they can eat whatever they want without gaining weight, and even those with the "fast metabolism" and "good genetics" often look in the mirror and don't like what they see. Coming to that realization has (selfishly) helped me a lot too. /ramblings :P .-= Susan´s last blog ..<a href="http://thegreatbalancingact.com/2009/10/28/onward-and-forward/" rel="nofollow">Onward and Forward</a> =-.

Yes, I would have liked to lose it fast but, the benefits of it taking so long is that I am learning a super lot about healthy eating, how my body reacts to certain foods and all about exercise and what works for me. Plus, there is the fact that research has proven that those that take longer to lose the weight more healthfully, keep the excess weight off longer. I think you have done a great job Lori and come a long way in learning about yourself. Way to go! .-= Karyn´s last blog ..<a href="http://fitnessroadtrip.wordpress.com/2009/10/29/h1n1-vaccine/" rel="nofollow">H1N1 vaccine?</a> =-. My weight loss of 35lbs has taken me a year and a half.

I would like to be lower, but my body is actually maintaining on its own. Could be telling me where it wants to be? I think you have to decide if you want to do what it takes to maintain the weight that you are at. If you have to eat too little and exercise a lot and aren't enjoying life, then you may want to increase your weight. It’s really a personal choice.
