Hi, Lisa, and welcome back.
Sounds like you're on the right track. My slow but steady weight loss (with, of course, stalls here and there) became secondary when I realized that this way of eating makes me feel so darned good. Healthy. Not hungry or craving all the time. And losing both weight and inches, to boot.
So, about 10 lbs ago, I decided that, no matter what happened, no matter where I was or what was going on in my life, that I would eat this way forever. Because changing is the way back to overweight, crabby, sore and unhealthy.
Once I decided that, it became a lot easier to say no to well meaning friends, to family and to stressful situations where before I would have had "just a bite" or "just a taste" that led me to over indulge, again and again.
You're doing great, and I hope to see more of you here.
Have you started a journal? It's an invaluable way to keep track of where I am, for me.
