I STILL get confused...

Alright, at almost 9 months, you would think I "get" the satisfied but not full feeling pattern of eating right?  I'm at the goal I set for myself which is another source of anxiety etc (maintenance?  never been able to do it) 

I still mess it up all the time.  I feel like now that the "worrying" about complications, etc....is gone and I am healed, physically, etc....I am less able to "know" when to stop.  Yes, I measure my food, and yes, I wait 30mins before and after drinking to eat (at least), but I do feel my capacity has grown somewhat....depending on what time of day it is.  For instance, I can eat a whole egg now and not have to stop.  I guess this is normal...but it worries me.  Is an egg overdoing it???

I am SO worried that I am going to mess all of this up completely.  After all, I don't know about all of you, but I've NEVER maintained anything in my life.  I have always EITHER been gaining weight OR losing weight.  This is so foreign to me!!!

Any feedback is appreciated,

Learning the art of mantience is a crazy thing, right?  I'm right there with you trying to figure this all out, too.  Like you, I do not know what it means to be a stable eater- neither gaining or loosing.  Just know that we will get this figured out.  I do know that as we add calories it needs to be the good, nutritious kind.  Take heart and let's just keep traveling on.  We can do this!
