This was the second week eating at maintenance, and I think it went okay. There were still plenty of days when I ate dessert at the end of the night to meet my calorie goal. Overall though, I didn't do too poorly. Nothing can be as bad as it was almost a year ago! We would eat fast food probably a good 4 or more times per week. We'd go out to restaurants just as often. I think I'm being generous if I estimate that we cooked at home twice per week. I'd drive through Tim Horton's or Dunkin Donuts, or when I had time I'd go to McDonald's, for breakfast; lunch would be a frozen meal, Subway, or maybe a sandwich if I wasn't in the mood to run out; and dinner was almost always out. And weekends...oomph. We'd wake up so late (noon-2:00pm) that we'd just get fast food and eat enough that we really didn't need to eat dinner. I was actually kind of proud of the fact that I could go all day on one meal. Maybe because I thought it could mean I wasn't really getting fatter? I mean less food has to mean less weight!
Anyway, maintenance is officially over. I've lowered my daily calories to 1900 and we'll see if the scale starts moving again. It's funny to me that at 2400, I would often have calories left at the end of the day, but at 1900 I'm finding I have to be careful about what I choose to eat.
