I have not reached my goal weight yet, which is 145, I currently weigh 159. However, my compelling reasons when I started SCS for weight loss was to fit into all my clothes in my closet and weigh what I weighed before I had my daughter which was 163. I have surpassed that by a little and I now fit into ALL my clothes in my closet. That being said, in my mind I have already reached my “goal” aka my compelling reason. I seem to have fallen into unconscious maintenance and I am falling into some old thought patterns about food. It’s like I can’t seem to allow urges anymore, because I’ve already reached my other goals (besides the number on the scale). I am aware of them when they come on and that moment when I give into it I am fully aware of what I am doing. Yet I still do it. I have thoughts that make it ok for me to continue with allowing the urge. I am struggling coming up with thoughts to get me through this transition into life long maintenance. Or even more so, recognizing these new thoughts that are actually old thoughts. A Model I’ve tried to do is C-Have an urge to overeat or eat sweets T-It’s ok, I’ve already met most of my goal F-Justified A- Eat, Give into Urge R- It’s not ok, I feel terrible
I know that model isn’t lining up and I can’t see where It’s wrong…
