I've come to realise that a big part of my life is weight. It's always on my mind and I think it always will be. I'm not unhealthy about it; I try and eat the best I can and sometimes indulge in treats (sometimes when I shouldn't).
I have a lot of friends that want to lose weight so I do what I can to help them and tell them what works for me. Some people say I obsess about weight; I don't think it's an obsession but I do think it's a part of everyday life. When you forget it, you gain it. Watching what you eat is a lifestyle, as is going to work and cleaning the house.
Maybe part of the problem is I'm a thin girl turned fat turned thin again. A lot of people don't get that. Once you've been somewhere dark, cold and alone you don't want to go back and if you know how to make sure you never go back why wouldn't you do it? That's like a person who's found the cure for cancer quitting the treatment, it doesn't make sense.
At this point in my weight loss journey it isn't as much about the number as it is getting in shape. I only have a few more pounds of fat too lose but I really want to work on toning this body. Toning is a life long commitment I am working on. It will be a journey just as the weightloss is and was but I'm ready. Once I graduate I know it will easier to get back to the gym but for now there is no reason I can't take a half hour to myself each day to tone.

Toning seems to be the word of the week! I understand how you feel about how people saying it's an obsession. That's part of the reason why I took such a long break from this website. I felt being here made my life focus around "losing weight," "maintaining weight," "exercising." It's all a vicious circle, we try so hard to get to where we want to be, but then we realize that's all we are. I wanted to get back to living my life. Did I pay dearly for it? Not really. I gained SOME weight back, but I realize that I lost more muscle tone than anything. If you realize why you're doing it, and it's not unhealthy mentally for you, then do it. Only you know what's right for you. You can't allow other people's opinions and statements become more valid than your own. You've worked so hard, and no one can tell you that it hasn't worked for you :)
