Keeping mind and body together

In the past when I've lost substantial amounts of weight, my mind somehow didn't realize what was going on. Within a couple of years when the weight was back on, it was as if I had never lost it anyway. This time I'm looking in the mirrors a lot, logging my weight loss in a program which shows a graph, getting rid of all my larger sizes, measuring, exercising, and being as active as possible. Talking with other travelers on this journey on-line or at support groups helps with the day to day issues but this mind/body thing has always been an issue in the past for me. What are you doing to keep mind and body together on this fabulous journey we've all started?

I'm doing much the same things as you are but I still fear that eventually I'll start falling into old habits. I don't ever want to be as big as I was 6 weeks ago. So for now, I'll keep coming back and pray that new habits stick.

Good for you. I think I am having a mind problem also. In the back of my head I won't get rid of the too large clothes. I keep fearing I'll need them again. It took Katrina to make me get rid of clothes from 315lbs and I haven't seen that in a couple of years. I also got rid of clothes that were too small saying I would never be that size again. Well DUUHHHH.....Now the next problem. I really have a fear of going into the store to look at smaller sizes. I know it won't be too much longer and I'll be able to shop other then the plus size stores and I am actually afraid to go in and look for myself. I have no problem in these stores shopping for other people. I saw a jacket marked down and I half way looked at it and kept going, knowing full well I wanted it.

right with you on that one - we have a store named "Rainbow" and they had some very nice cotton/twill gouchos for 10.00 ( they were 22.00) i really wanted to buy them - i did but a jacket and was happy that it was a 2x instead of a 3x.
