BabyA, part of this journey is to start examining the reasons why you put the weight on in the first place. If you finished LT and just went back to eating as you were previously, they is very little doubt that you'd gain weight again. Dealing with whatever issues you have without being reliant on food while doing it, I've found to be very beneficial. We are all learning along this journey about ourselves. Use the time productively so your 'training wheels' are ready to be tested when you are eating again and you can be confident that you will be able to cope. This perhaps is more difficult that actually losing the weight but if you are willing to face the issues that is progress in itself x x x
