Re: Confession & a maintenance question( Kris)

November 3, 2004

Hi Kris,

I think that doing maintenance is very different for each person

regardless of the adding 2 points at a time and working toward

finding a happy medium..

For me, most weeks I find that sticking just around 24 will keep me

stable.. some days I go to 30-32, but I can only do this for very few

days and then I start gaining. I find that I can feel satisfied now

having around the 24 mark as my top, maybe because I know I stay put

and dont have the worry of gaining.. I will ever be able to have a

lot of extra points, only just now and then..

I have read too, where some people can maintain on having so much

more, but I figure maybe they are just that much more active than me

and have way better metabolisms..

When on vacation I found that I was so much more active and so I ate

a few more points, I am talking only say 5-6 SOME days, and came back

6 lbs lighter. So knowing how much activity I got in, I know I could

of had more points and maintained. I realize that I used up a lot of

points in activity..lesson one..

This tells me that if I want to have more points, I know how much

more moving I need to do. But I was eating right as well, I was not

consuming a bunch of sweets or what I call junk foods etc.. I stayed

very aware of what I had..

Now that I am home, listen to this, I have gained back 2 of the 6 lbs

I lost, just that quick...in 4 days...because I am not as active. My

food choices are still good, but I am a bit over the 24 points, so if

I want to take then off, I will need to back down a couple of points

or move more...Its been a good lesson here in understanding my body a

little more..if that is possible..lol.!!

Anyway just thought I would pass on some of my thoughts on how I

react to maintenance...You have a good week..

By the way, I never failed to journal everyday as well..
