how much mental effort...?
How much energy and time do you think it takes to successfully maintain a LC weight loss?
I've been musing about this lately. Since getting back on track in November, I've been spending a good 30 hours a week on line, thinking about LC, reading, etc. As I read tales of successful maintainers, they also seem to continue to stay committed to the LC community, focus on their food a lot, preach the LC WOE out there in the real world, even change careers so that their daily life is all about LCing. They create websites, they write on-line articles, they open LC businesses....
I realize that anyone who hit goal, left the board, and is successfully maintaining won't be here to answer this questions but what do you present maintainers think?
How much time do you spend focused on this WOL? How much time do you think you would need as a minimum to maintain your loss? Do you know of anyone who has maintained LC weight loss for over 5 years without staying involved in the LC world? Can LCing become truly automatic without putting any hours at all into it?
Thanks in advance for answering.
