PJ, you know I have the exact same concerns about maintenance. So how are we going to manage it? TOGETHER. As I see it, getting to goal is no reason to leave this forum and the support it offers. I plan to stay and help other people reach their goals, but I also plan to stay so that I can get help STAYING at mine.
I'm also hoping that I've been on the program long enough for some of the lessons to sink in, and the same goes for you (or will by the time you reach your goal). Things I'm pretty sure will stick with me: small, frequent meals; splurges only occasionally; dealing with emotions without using food. And finally, if I do slip up, I'm hoping I have the good sense to stop before I gain more than a few pounds (as soon as my jeans start feeling tight) and return to the basic Medifast plan for as long as it takes to get back down. I intend to continue using some Medifast products pretty much every day, which means I'll have a small stockpile in my cabinet at all times so there will be no excuse NOT to jump back on the program if needed.
