9 Years of Maintenance (comparing last 3 years of pics)

I took a pic today to compare to the last few years, I have maintained my loss within a few pounds by being very diligent about what I put in my mouth.  Except on Friday when I over indulged in Jelly Belly Butter Popcorn Jelly Beans, 4 calories each....they add up and the crash was the worst of my life.  I doubt I will ever eat another jelly bean ever.

Here is my comparison pic of today and 2013 and 2012.

I'm sorry...I don't know why my post deleted...perhaps because I changed my pic. You look great! Maintaining is the hardest part! Au naturelle!

Thanks!  If I have a bad weekend and eat some crap Monday I always start fresh, like hitting the reset button on my diet.  It keeps me balanced and not crazy.

Thanks!  I post these pics to be accountable to myself.  I only weigh when I know I have lost weight, which I know I haven't but it is easy to lie to yourself about 5-10lbs so the pics help cement the fact I am still the same.

Out of curiosity, isn't it easy to lie to yourself when you don't weigh after potentially gaining?
