Hilongway2go, good job on your success so far. You explain things so well. Which got me thinking...

Being in the TDC implies patience. I know I have a lot to lose so I have steeled myself to that fact. As my mind cleared and thoughts straightened out on this WOL, I soon realized the shape I was in.

One of the best points of this WOE for me is that I am in control of my daily food choices. No longer do I have to scarf food involuntarily. I believe the LC lifestyle is what my body and mind thrives on.

Let's see, I ate low fat for a year, gained it back. I went on the stop eating diet when I was young, gained it back. It's no wonder sometimes why weight loss can be stubborn.

So, fine. If my body takes a while to lose weight, so be it. I'm headed in the right direction.

In the long run, my real prize will be a lifetime of eating what is right for me and not gaining the weight back.
