Slow & steady does it!!!!
Not sure this thread is in the right place or even if it'll make any sense but here goes!
How did you all know when to stop dieting & start on the road of maintenance?
Did you choose a weight to reach? A dress size? A BMI?
I'm only asking because I always thought I'd be happy at a dress size 12.
To be honest I think I probably thought this because I never, ever in my wildest dreams imagined I'd ever be a dress size 12 but I've nearly done it!!
I know that perhaps my head hasn't yet caught up with how I really look but when I look in the mirror I'm still not happy with what I see.
My worry is that I'll never be happy with what I see, so do I just stop at the 12 I'd originally planned to be or do I try to lose a bit more & get to a size 10 & see how I feel?
Logically my head knows I look a million times better now that I did when I was a dress size 24 at the start of my journey but I guess I thought when I got "there" I'd look at myself in the mirror each morning & be jumping for joy & I'm not!
Any help advice from those who reached goal would be very much appreciated. x x
