Once you’ve lost the weight, you need to learn how to keep it off. Most people do gain the weight back after they lose it, because they go right back to their old habits. As you get closer to your goal weight, you will need to start easing into the lifestyle that you will continue for the rest of your life. You will need to remember to keep cutting out the biggest sources of blood sugar spikes, including sugar, white flour, white rice, and potatoes. You will need to continue consuming plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy seafood, and other lean proteins. And you will need to continue getting some exercise.
Always remember that if you don’t continue the lifestyle, you are doomed to repeat everything you’ve just been through. You’ll have to deal with the pain of being overweight, the embarrassment you feel when you go out in public, the difficulty losing the weight, the aches, pains, and discomfort of being overweight, and all of those other issues.
That’s something you don’t ever want to have to go through again, right?
Never let go of the things you’re feeling right now. Never forget the struggle. Never forget the pain. Never, ever forget.
Once you let go, once you get past it and you move on, you cannot forget. If you allow yourself to forget what it was like, you’ll be back on that road to obesity before you know it.
It’s a good idea to keep a lot of photos of yourself before you lost the weight. Keep a journal of how difficult your dieting is. Write notes in it about how horrible you feel, how embarrassed you are, how your life is miserable. Keep all of this together and look at it regularly.
Yes, it will be painful to dredge up those memories of when you were so unhealthy, but it will help you stay healthy. The emotional pain you feel will be nothing compared to what your friends and family would feel if they lost you because you had a heart attack or stroke due to obesity, or the pain you would feel if you gained all of the weight back.
Keep eating healthily. Keep exercising. Keep living the healthiest life possible.
Never, ever forget.Last edited on 3 August 2009 12:23 am by

Wow your post annoyed me. Who are you and what is your background to be able to dispurse of such wisdom?
I have and am losing weight eating both white bread, rice and potatoes so sorry, I live more by everything in moderation than YOU CANNOT EAT THIS AND THIS.
Furthermore, all the embarrasment, pain, being miserable? Sorry but my life was not horrible, or at a standstill when I was fatter. Yes losing weight has been a good - hard, but still good experience and I am happy I am lighter and healthier but my life was not a nightmare when I was fat.

I agree with sqzee in that there is no one thing that is going to work for everyone or that people should never eat...etc.
I will say that I know that bad habits are easy to fall back into.
I used to see it all the time when I worked in a hospital.
We would get these obese patients that were close to death due to their poor diet and lack of exercise. Once they were well enough to go home they would go back to their old bad habits and bounce right back into the hospital.
Many of them died.
It was so sad because they were people I got to know through spending hours taking care of them. They were funny, interesting, and caring people who just couldn't see or didn't care that what they were doing to themselves was a form of suicide.

If you already lose a lot of weight, just keep on working out to maintain your shape and weight.

It is true that you can easily fall back to your old routine and gain fat easily. You just need to be cautious that you dont repeat the things which caused you to become fat in the first place.
