On a mission!
Tell me about it Lou!!
I didn't think I'd end up in the "Regain Club" but unfortunately, after the high of being a happy slim bridesmaid last October, I fell right back into old habits. :sigh:
I'm ABSOLUTELY RAGING with myself for it.
But it's done now and I'm going to really work at being ready for the "hereafter" when I get that slimline bod back in about 9 weeks time. That's how long it took on LT.
I have read a fantastically informative book about how to eat i.e. proper food combining, which blew everything I thought I knew right out of the water!
So I hope to try and follow those principles as best I can to maintain.

When i was eating losing slow/maintaining... I found that having my treats as an actual treat not an everday occurance was key....
I'd have a take away at the weekend but then was super good in the week....
Trading things also.... Well if I'm having that cake.... I have to go for a run...
Also if eating out say.... Well its starter OR desert...... Or Desert or a couple of glasses of wine....
Alcohol is definately one that piles on unessary pounds.... pound from it and pounds from the crap you then eat...
My other advice would be find an activity/sport that you enjoy!!!!
I honestly think I'll always have to think about what I'm eating but after these diets i am never restricting anything ever again.... Its getting used to better portion sizes lovely!!!
The only thing i will out and out avaid is white bread/pasta/rice as its horrid for making me feel bloated....
Hope my ramble makes a bit of sense!!!

Nothing but Fuzz!
I can only repeat what dee has said that's exactly what I have found,
Portion sizes are a big one- it's not complicated just don't over do it
I know this sounds daft but talk to yourself when you are choosing something to eat and really think about if before just diving in.... That will give you time and space to make a better decision.
I.e do you really want that chocolate cake or would a low fat chocolate mousse do the job just the same! (I promise it does). So substitute! When shopping also make low fat low carb choices etc .
On the occasion where you don't want to substitute... It's give and take .... You want the cake..... Get your backside out for a run or a swim .... That's the pay off and it balances out! I still have treats and take out but I also work damn hard to make sure I get rid of it.
If you can find an exercise you enjoy that will make it so much easier because you will want to do it! (I'm considering doing a Jodie marsh!) haha! that's all I have done I've replaced an addiction to food with an addiction to exercise!
These are just new rules we have to learn to live by, we all come from a background of having no rules regarding food where if we wanted it we had it..... And I think we can all agree it just doesn't work. In my opinion I have worked too hard to F**k this up now... I like how I look and how I feel and must admit I am scared of going backwards... But I like that the fear is keeping me in check!
One last thing if you learn the basics of good nutrition and don't devote every waking minute to thinking about food and planning your next meal and weighing portions and obsessing about it .... It all really just comes down to resetting good habits xxx
