Ruth poses the question "After weight loss, how do you fill that space you used to give to worrying about food and dieting?" Finding ways to continue to listen to the body and work constantly toward feeling good.Why it's detrimental to fall back into old patterns.We need to give ourselves time to lose the weight, adjust to the loss, and settle our minds. It takes as long as it takes.Redoing another round of the Program is beneficial in Maintenance.We want to cultivate a capacity to grow and take the time to solidify the weight loss in maintenance.Member input is helping us create a powerful maintenance program.
