BrianB I know that when I was on the strict diet, one of the things that I worried about was that if we got a bunch of maintainers on here talking about all the new things they were trying and maintenance tricks and tips, that it might be an unwelcome distraction to me since I couldn't have those things at the time. In the early days of the strict diet we really didn't have any maintenance discussions going on here, so it never came up, and by the time there were any, there was still very little, and I was to the point where I wasn't bothered by things I couldn't have. |
ajsutter I love seeing the maintenance posts. I know those are the people that have made it through to their goal!! It's also nice to know what you have to look forward to since the clinics don't give you any information about maintenance until you're close to it. |
oakville2 Ditto to that ajsutter. I like reading about what I have to look forward to. I have never made it to maintenance before so I am excited to find out what it is like, struggles and all. Knowledge is power and I can use all the help there is. Nice of you to think of how others might feel though Brian. |
committed I agree ... I really enjoy reading the maintenace posts ... I find they are part of what keeps me on track, as you say BrianB "the light at the end of the tunnel"!! It is so wonderful to see you guys, one by one, move from a 'dieter' to a 'maintainer' ... very inspiring. Can't wait to get there myself!!! |
BrianB Realized this should really be on Bulletin Board so others can find it over time. Moved. |
TonyM I like it since I'm still trying to figure out mentally how I'm going to handle the transition off the diet. |
debra I love reading maintenance posts too. I like to visualize a maintainance day from time to time as mental preparation. |
prairieshome Add me to the list of members who do not mind the maintenance posts, I like seeing how the program works for those in that phase of it. |
bugzy I enjoy reading the maintenance posts....Both educational and inspirational. |
CarolP I enjoy them as well. Nice to know what is ahead. And woohoo for those of you who made it there before me. I can learn from you. I'm glad your able to add foods back in. It's reward I look forward to but don't agonize over. |
Michelle They bother me !!!!! They keep reminding me of the stuff I am supposed to be adding back in but am too chicken sh___! to do so !!!! LOL |
SueP I like them too. It's nice to see others being successful. |
