It's really good to hear you say this, because sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed by everyone talking about all the statistics that predict almost all of us will regain our weight.
So far (about 10 months) maintenance has not really been all that difficult for me. I start to wonder if maybe I am missing something- it should be harder, because so many people say it is, so maybe I'm doing something wrong? And maybe that "something" that I'm not doing will somehow cause me to fall off the wagon and regain my weight??!!
It's like I'm thinking there is going to be some sort of sneak attack one of these days that clobbers me and takes my weight loss away- turning me into one of the statistics of people who regain their weight!
