What does maintenance FEEL like?
Okay, this question is for those hyper-self-analytical types out there, and I know from the outset that it may be a tough one to answer.
I know what losing feels like: that kind of `squarish' crunching feeling in the abdomen (usually) that corresponds with a drop in scale weight--not hunger, but right next door to it, and often an I'm hungry-but-don't-want-to-eat feeling.
I know what gaining feels like--that bloating, itchy-legged, I'm-full-but-want-to-eat feeling.
What does maintenence feel like? Is it just a pendulum swing between those feelings, or is it different? Do you find a peace where you are no longer trying to lose, or is it an eternal-vigilance feeling?
I remember from many years ago, an immediacy to the sensation of hunger when I was at goal--that `I'm-hungry-and-you-better-feed-me-NOW' feeling (like living with a 2 year old . . . ) but I don't remember anything else about it . . .
Thanks for your thoughts on this. . . .
