I just spent the last hour reading dozens of posts in the revision forum and that will scare the hell out of you!  I feel like OKAY you've been fat your whole life, ya you can get skinny but you're going to go back to your old habits.  I need to get a tattoo on my forehead reminding me what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and that I have to do it for the rest of my life.  I can never be normal I will always have to be here.  I enjoy food so much in the moment that in the past I haven't been able to rationally think about the downside.  I hope I reach my goal and stay there.  Oh boy it's easy now but who is to say in 2, 3, 15 years it will be?

All good and solid obervations.  Yes, does get harder (at least it has for me) after a few years.  On the other hand, it is still very doable. Staying a little worried is not a bad thing.

I'd recommend the back of your hand instead of your forehead, it might be more noticeable that way. ;)

Don't tattoo your forehead...I was researching getting one removed and that is scarey! lol

Good on you for wrapping your head around the concept that this isn't a diet it's your lifestyle...forever and ever amen!
