250 on the way up feels quite differently from 250 on the way down. When I was slowly gaining weight, and hit 250 I felt awful. My stomach felt bloated and I felt yucky. Now on the way down, I feel so much better at that same weight. Why? Because my stomach is smaller than it used it be...it is tightening up again, and that gives a whole different sensation than that bloated feeling I had previously. It is not just a psychological feeling. It is real. It is the feeling of a shrinking stomach instead of a stretching one......
