and Rishe was Please Help, just a little bit down

[Guest guest]

Okay...both of you ( and Rishe) have done a marvelous job so far.

You know what? I think you need to step back and really look at what you

have accomplished so far then...perhaps decide if it is enough if you stop

where you are right now at this moment in time. You feel better than you

did, think of reasons not to lose more and also (probably) wonder what it

would feel like TO lose more.

That said...I would recommend taking a break from weight loss. Yes, I would

say it is time for some maintaining of what you have lost already. Practice

the skills you have learned and don't gain an ounce. Then, when your body

has had a chance to adjust to the new thinner you it will probably say,

" Time to move on down lower " OR it might say... " Enough is enough...at least

for now. "

And...do make a list of the reasons you started to lose weight in the first

place and see if you have accomplished the goals you set for youself

healthwise. If not, reassess and make a new plan then go with what seems

right for now.

Never think of yourself as a failure...nope...look at what you have

accomplished to date and knowing that you are successful realize that for

full personal health at the highest level you will have to continue doing

what you have been doing for the rest of your life *IF* you truly want the

best life you can provide for yourself.

made sense!
