hi Purple
I did enjoy the tennis, thank you. Also catching up with friends.
Hi Lichtle, Happy, Carol, Purple, FFS
Your discussions above re maintenance being harder than losing weight really resonate with me. I am thinking of joining the No sugar for Lent challenge.
I have a number of theories as to why Maintenance may be harder than full on 5:2 for some of us.
Is it because we are All or Nothing type personalities that we find 5:2 relatively easy to do?
When we reach goal weight, do we lose the sense of all or nothing?
Do we get such a kick from losing the weight when fasting, that we miss this when we are maintaining?
Do we need a goal to maintain our focus, eg, when weight loss is at goal, do we then go no sugar or carbs?
Is a vague goal of future health less of a stimulus than, eg, giving up sugar?
Is there always a little voice that says how easy it will be to fast, if I just give in and enjoy this treat?
Is there a sense of anticlimax when we reach our goals?
Is it all or none of them above? Discuss! 🙄
Life. You just gotta love it! Cheers, fellow MCers! Bay 😉
