[quote=Anonymous]I have this problem too! I've lost 20 pounds since January - I'm 5'7 and went from 158 to 138.  Now that I am done having all my kids, I am really trying to keep at the weight I'm at (maybe lose another 5 lbs) and NOT slip into bad habits.  Here are some things that are helping me and that I'm trying to do:

1) weigh myself every day.  Yes, I know it will fluctuate, but I also know my body well enough that if I see the scale creeping up day by day, I'm going to notice when it hits 3-4 pounds instead of 10 lbs.
2) I have to keep trying new recipes and new foods.  I have a huge problem with getting bored with what I'm eating and going back to the comfort foods that taste good.  So investing some time in trying new things is important for me.
3) I have learned that it is better for me to have foods that are truly not allowed rather than do things in moderation.  I have a big appetite and I like to eat.  So, for example, I have these cinnamon roasted almonds that are SO GOOD and I've probably been over-indulging in lately, but I have not touched the Halloween candy.  I am incapable of having just one little chocolate bar from the kids' stash.  I'll eat six.   And then six again tomorrow.  So I really don't have any white flour carbs, and very rarely have wheat carbs.  Same goes for sugar -- no sugar at all.  But I have been experimenting with whole wheat and xylitol recipes and that fills my need for baked goods.
4) Get rid of the fat clothes and put a little more time and energy into fashion and dressing well.

I hope that helps.  Good luck to all of us![/quote]
