I think often about your declaration that you were done with dieting, and how it seems like you don't obsess about what/when/where you are going to eat. Part of this is true for me. And part of me still believes I could spin out of control pretty easily. That said, I sure am enjoying my watermelon this summer!!debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-30650332120900890462012-08-06T09:48:33.125-05:002012-08-06T09:48:33.125-05:00Totally awesome Shelley.

I know when I'm up a little and when I am down, but I haven't "regained the weight" and I know you know what I mean. I have maintained a ~50 pound loss and to me that is HUGE! I have learned so much about myself, as well, both inside and out. I wouldn't trade what I have learned for anything.<br /><br />Cheers to you!~Karen C.L.

A...Beautiful post, especially the last paragraph. <br /><br />At this moment I have the same attitude as you towards dieting and I eat what I want too. The only difference is that I make the "wrong" choices a bit too much which keeps me at the same weight for months now. But to be honest, even though I'm still not at the weight I want to be, I don't want to change things now either. I'm happy where I am and if that feeling changes I will do something about it.<br /><br />I like it that your blog isn't about dieting (anymore) but about a woman who's happy and who's feeling good and shares her healthy choices and workouts and daily life (including knitting) with us. As far as I'm concerned: keep it up! <br /><br />Je bent een groot voorbeeld voor mij (eat that Bing translation LOL )Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287705328335828286noreply@blogger.com
