?

So I was reading these studies that basically say your body is set to be a certain weight. And it will fight to keep you that weight. It will slow everything down, holding onto calories, and go into a type of starvation mode. It also said of course you can fight this, but it will be a FIGHT for the rest of your life. And that only 20% of people who lose weight actually keep it off. And "keeping it off" was defined by keeping off 10% of your body weight, or something like that.

Anyway it got me thinking. Can I live like this the rest of my life? And the more I thought, the more I thought about what I'm actually doing. I am not doing anything drastic. I am just trying to stop bad habits. That I can do. I could never cut out carbs for life. Or spend 2 hours a gym every day.

So I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and see where that gets me. Because really if for me being skinny means having to do either of those things it just won't work. I feel confident that eating a healthy amount of calories, never truly depriving myself, will work.

I will try to find those websites and post them. It was interesting. I never knew there was this whole movement of "fat acceptance". I'll try to comment on it when I don't have a baby on my lap fighting me for the keyboard.
