There are those who lose weight, and manage to keep it off. I believe mental attitude is 95% of what they have/need, and if you copy what they do/think, I think you'll have real success. I guess if you want something hard enough, you'll make it a high priority in your life.<br /><br />Does being overweight/obese in the past imply that you'll have to eat less than other non-gainers of the same weight? That excerpt doesn't say it does, and it doesn't say it doesn't. I vaguely recall a research pdf from a year or two I read that showed that once you've been at goal after a loss, your metabolism was at the same level as a non-gainer of the same weight. <br /><br />You might want to read this pdf: what you think you're eating affects your ghrelin response. http://www.aionfitness.com/pdf-files/MindOverMilkshakes.pdfManniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04119332802138490071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481568492628185011.post-29933685033330711842012-03-09T14:00:53.658-08:002012-03-09T14:00:53.658-08:00I never thought about it in that way Caroline...ma...I never thought about it in that way Caroline...maintaining doesn't even have the reward of the scale moving down -- just the fear of it moving up..... <br /><br />woah...that is sobering.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223706150385807676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481568492628185011.post-28801691607492452012-03-09T13:56:45.062-08:002012-03-09T13:56:45.062-08:00This is why I have such a problem with shows like,...This is why I have such a problem with shows like, "The Biggest Loser" - which really just show such a tiny part of the whole picture. I've always heard that maintenance is much harder than losing, because when you're losing, you have the 'reward' of the weight loss to look forward to.

I believe all of this. It is probably why so many people who lose weight have so much trouble with maintenance. Forewarned is forearmed I guess.
