Oh the Pain to Maintain (that coveted weight loss)

I have lost my way recently with my dieting efforts. It has been compounded by an increasing acceptance of the weight I am presently at. For those of you like myself who want full disclosure of the numbers we are talking about, I am 9 stone 8 lbs, 134 lbs or 60.9 kg. The advanced class will want to know too that my height is 157cm (or 5'2") giving me a BMI of 24.7.

For once I am going to stop aiming for 'thin' and accept my present weight (slim-ish).

Maintenance of any weight loss is hard though. It requires the same amount of continual effort as weight loss, but without any of the rewards. 

A 'good' week is rewarded by staying the same (STS). There are no longer comments of 'have you lost weight?', 'your face looks thinner' yet we're supposed to be happy with this result. That's one of the reasons I thought that blogging about this new road I'm following might help my mind to follow it too. 

It's pure hunkering down for the long term that's required and that is what I need to do now.  I've wasted many years of my life being over weight and regularly vow to waste no more time wishing I was thinner.

Now I've reached a weight I am comfortable at, it's realistic and it should be maintainable, it's time to walk the walk.

All I've got to do is keep my eye on the prize,  play the long game, and keep trying to win this war on weight. Are you with me?
