Slow and Steady Wins the Race!
Longtime dieter, first time caller! :)
Been losing the same 40 lbs over and over and over and over and over! This time I am taking it slow. No more crazy crash diets!

Just before I came back to SparkPeople in Sept. 2011, I realized that after 40 years of trying to lose weight, that the best approach for me was to find a healthy eating plan I could stick to for the rest of my life. I have tried very hard NOT to think of the weight loss as the end goal. Healthy eating is the end goal. Losing weight is a bi-product of it. I have found that a very restrictive diet is not something I can stick with for more than a few weeks,
After 10 1/2 months, I am 40 pounds lighter, but more importantly I am wrapping my head around maintenance and what that really means.

I have to prepare myself for the rest of my life with food. It is sort of like training for a hundred mile race or something. Except this race will never be over.

Trust in the plan! (I need to remind myself of this everyday.)
