Yeah, skinny people don't get it. They aren't doing anything special to stay skinny, but they don't know it. Many fitness professionals come out of the ranks of the never-fat. Maybe that's why the "eat less, move more" idea has been perpetuated for so long. I'm grateful to Gary Taubes for turning that on its head.

For us, maintenance is a commitment that extends far beyond the time and effort required to achieve something closer to a healthy weight, let alone thin. We need to be compassionate with ourselves.

You're doing great!
