Losing it?

So I'm at a meeting last night and there is a woman who has lost 70 pounds over the last 4 months.  She  has so much positive energy and just wanted to make me stand up and cheer.

So what happens to that energy.  Why is it we lose that energy as we draw near to our goal?  We change all the little things that have made that initial weight loss seem so easy.  We start worrying about those last 5-10 pounds.  

So let's bottle up that energy from the first couple of months.  Put it in a closet and store it so we can pull it out after the honeymoon and reuse it.    A lot of people are experiencing the same stall that the Delaware board is seeing.  Maybe putting some of that energy into sharing your energy on the boards will help kick start your journey and get you back on track.  It can be plenty of fun when your losing and working toward your goal, so let's bring the fun back.  

Time to get the state moving again.  Try posting, you might enjoy it.

Rob,
This is so true!  How many of us reached goal and maintained or came close?  I fall in the came close category.  I got with in 8lbs of my goal and just couldn't figure out why I couldn't loose those extra 8.
I'm going to regroup, and go back to the basic's! 
It's never too late!
Another good post Rob.

 This was a wonderful post, Rob.    I'm 5 1/2 months post op and have lost just under 50 pounds.  Sometimes it seems longer only because I feel I've accomplished so much health/weight-wise in these few months.  I'm not quite past the honeymoon stage, but I do feel myself slowly slipping into that area.  Your post has actually brought me back to reality.   Thank you! 

Just keep looking forward.  As long as you use the honeymoon stage to prepare yourself for the rest of your life you'll do great.  So many things you can do today you probably didn't dream of doing 6 months ago.  Feel free to share.  You'll be amazed at how many people that read these posts are looking for those wondeful successes.Rob
