I own a book that has been out of print since the eighties, so I guess it predates what we love and call CICO, but it's one of the best sources of advice and inspiration I own. I'm obviously not here to promote it, so I won't mention it by name, and I don't want to divert attention away from what I'm about to quote. But this paragraph sums up permanent weight loss (once your weight loss routine is established) better than anything I've ever read:
But if eating is no longer a Roman carnival of consumption, it isn't much of a problem, either. There's no gnawing hunger, no watching the clock until lunchtime comes. There's plenty to eat, and a little trade off here and there allows for a lunch martini or an occasional supper at Tio Ramos. But awareness of body size and muscle tone are never far from consciousness because, like liberty, the price of thinness is eternal vigilance. Developing a slim, firm body is in some ways like raising a child: it's a relentless job, it requires constant attention, and it seems never to be done. Understandably, winners protect and nurture the finished product almost instinctively. They are addicted to thinness. They don't necessarily like all the things they must do to stay the way they are, but they can't bear the thought of becoming what they once were.
Does a particular passage from a specific book or article summarize your entire weight loss journey? Please share it below.
