The terrible stress I felt while I was working toward reaching my goal weight is gone. I still think about my weight and my food (healthy choices and portion size) an awful lot, but I'm being patient, knowing I need time to embrace the new me and my new new way of eating! I've only been in maintenance for 9 weeks, which included a 9 day vacation AND Christmas!!! So really things have gone very well and I'm patiently awaiting peace. I already have gratitude and vigilance...now I await peace...and I firmly believe it WILL come to me when the time is right.
