I think your inside my head, lol. I am so in that Honeymoon Phase. I have lost 60 lbs so far but my goal is 140 too. I'm already starting to think towards the future. Can I keep going? Can I keep it up? Why can't this be easy for me? etc etc. Your post put some thing in perspective for me tonight. And I thank you. Sandy Geez Pamela!!! I think your inside my head, lol.

I’m already starting to think towards the future. Can I keep going? Can I keep it up? Why can’t this be easy for me? etc etc.

Your post put some thing in perspective for me tonight. And I thank you.

Lots of encouragement in there. You are a success story, for sure - whether you are 'at goal' or not yet. Your success to this point gives me hope that it can be done - and we all know 'it' isn't just numbers on the scale!

I loved reading this and I can so totally relate to this. I was in that honeymoon phase where nothing could touch me. For heaven's sake I took my own ff hot dogs and veggie burgers to church and family picnics. I lost 140 lbs. initially. I got a promotion that took my time as well as my soul *smirk*. I gained 40 lbs back (totally depressing because I was within 10 lbs. of my goal weight). Too much grab and go eating. I'm back on track, though trying to ween myself off flex points. It's been a rough couple of months but at least I'm maintaining and not gaining right now. Sorry, got a bit off track. I just wanted to share that I really appreciated this, for sharing your thoughts and for opening yourself up. <abbr><em>Sabrina’s last blog post..<a href="http://beaniesbloging.blogspot.com/2009/02/i-can-hear-it.html" rel="nofollow">I can hear it....</a></abbr></em> Thank you!

Thank you all so much for your comments, and for sharing your point of view. It's so fantastic to see how much we have in common despite our differences and how we all truly aren't alone. It's wonderful to see both familiar and new names! Wow, I’m completely overwhelmed. Thank you all so much for your comments, and for sharing your point of view.

You summed things up so well for me in this post. I lost just over 100 lbs and now I am gaining back. I know what I am doing wrong. But man a year into the losing stage and I was burnt out, stressed out and just ready to dig into some sugar and fried goodness. You are so right. Everyone has a different story and just because I am not losing right now does not mean I am not succeeding. Thank you so much for sharing your story. You have helped me more than you know today. <abbr><em>Matt’s last blog post..<a href="http://dudeatww.blogspot.com/2009/02/breaking-news-and-pound-for-found.html" rel="nofollow">Breaking news and a pound for found update</a></abbr></em> I have only read your most recent post and I am sure that I am going to end up spending an entire day reading through your blog.

Weight loss really is a reflection of (and reaction to) what is happening in your life. The pendulum of emotions is constantly swinging, albeit at a different rate of speed for each person. I gotta say, though, I never thought of weight loss as a struggle or very difficult. It ain't easy--oh no. But not difficult. Where your mind is at certainly plays a role in this, of course, amongst other things. What you described seems like the progression of feelings leading up to a plateau. And how you respond to that plateau is going to determine where you go next. It may be for some that a plateau is a sign to go into maintenance mode, and they accept it and change strategies. For others, it requires greater determination (or something else) to keep losing, or for some it is a sign of failure (which it shouldn't be). I felt the emotional pendulum swing when I hit my second plateau a few months ago. I was sad, disappointed, a little depressed. But upon researching and consulting with a trainer, I moved on and the weight loss has continued. Of course, I feel more positive about it, and like the fact that I have learned (and allowed myself) to be much more flexible. I look forward to when I am in maintenance mode and know I still have a lot to learn and experience. Like moving into a new house and becoming comfortable with the space. <abbr><em>Camevil’s last blog post..<a href="http://twentyonedayslater.blogspot.com/2009/02/wednesday-weigh-in-21109.html" rel="nofollow">Wednesday Weigh-In: 2/11/09</a></abbr></em> What an excellent post..the points you raised really made me think about where I was and where I am now since I started 3 years ago.
