I've been thinking about my weight loss journey. An advantage to losing weight slowly, over a period of time, it that I can experience all the holidays, birthdays, seasons, etc. while staying OP. I can say, so this is what it's like to be OP on Halloween, I have to count all the candy I eat, and maybe I don't want to trade losing weight that week for the moments of pleasure chocolate brings.

This is how I celebrate my birthday OP, I eat lightly early in the day, just taste the cake at work, and indulge at dinner with my family. This is how I meet the challenges of vacations & less structure. You see what I mean? I"m living in the moment, and getting used to the lifestyle.
