(12,509 posts)When I lost my fifty, I discovered the other mountain called "MAINTENANCE", often steeper than the first. After a few failed tries, I learned a very important lesson: DO NOT allow yourself to buy one piece of clothing in a larger size. (I'm assuming that you are throwing or giving away your bigger sizes as you lose the weight so there is not the temptation to put on "comfortable" pants.) As the weight starts to creep back on (hey, it was a long time friend that got used to the plushy living accommodations in your warm and fat body, trust me, it will try to move back in), DO NOT even consider just one size larger, even if the waist band cuts in to your flesh, and all the buttons pop off. Those will be your signals to get your walking shoes back on your feet and throw the Cheetos in the trash.
