I'm doing 15 things
I’m 8 pounds from my goal, which is actually still a bit large for my height. I’ve noticed that my immune system has weakened since losing the weight and people are telling me to stop now because apparently I look too thin. My fear is that once I stop I’ll gain it all back even though I’m so close to my goal.

How I did it
It made me
Thrilled 
How I did it: Applied for a job in my field, at a very large company. They called within 3 days of getting my cv. I interviewed and was very out going, and then I got a call back. They eventually offered me the full time permanent position, and I love it already. Read how I did it…
It made me
Happy!
How I did it: I knew I was only aiming for 1 week and decided I had to grocery shop in advance so I wasn't left in a desperate situation. There were obvious temptations, and I never made it easy on my self in fact I still keep a chocolate bar near my desk, I just don't really feel the need to have it anymore.

I just went through a really painful breakup, and in the process I managed to lose 15 pounds. It came off too fast because I was so depressed I couldn’t eat even if I tried forcing myself. This is not the way I wanted to lose weight and now I’m scared that I will gain since I’ve been able to return to my normal (albiet healthy) diet. I still have 20 pounds to my goal. Any suggestions on how to avoid the gain now that I can stomach food again?
It took 5 months of mental self torture for me to eventually allow myself to move on. I had to stop talking to him, which I eventually did last month, we finally ended it without tears or hatred. As much as he hurt me, I know I put myself in that position where I would never really be happy. So while his apologies helped a lot, my decision to cut all ties was the best choice. I will always love him, and yah there will still be moments of hurt and missing him, but I now know and accept that I do not need him to keep going.
I hope each of you are eventually able to come to peace with your own situations. As much as it hurts to let go I think it hurts more to keep holding on.
