Your DH married you for you. He married you for WHO you are not HOW you are.

But it is possible that you would be more comfortable in social situations at your child's school, church, wherever at a smaller size.

It is probable that you would gain greater health and better be able to enjoy your family at a smaller size.

The choice is up to you: long-term good health or that temporary rush you get from high carb food.

Ellen-mom, I think you answered your own question -- it's not just the weight left to lose but if you lose focus, the weight you have already lost is in jeopardy.

Sometimes it's harder to keep going after a break than it was to start, especially when people around you are saying -- "oh you don't have much more to lose" and "You look great now". But we all know there are still benefits to be gained.

Take a look at the Raindrops on roses... thread. I started it awhile ago to give myself and others reasons to keep going and you might want to think about the ones you have and add them.

And if it's a kick in the butt (or head) that you need, here's one of those too!!

Have a great day!
