I've been so excited lately, that it seems like all I talk about to my hubby is weight loss, or weight loss related topics (exercise, new clothes, etc). A couple of days ago, I said something about "when I get to goal..." and he replied, "What are you going to obsess about when you reach your goal?" I told him I'd obsess with maintaining then.

He was half joking, half serious, but upon thinking about it, I've realized he's right. For nearly 20 years, I obsessed over food, in one sense or another (whether it be the latest diet or what's for dinner). Now I seem to be obsessed with losing weight/getting to goal.

Food has played such a huge role in my life. I've always lived to eat, rather than eaten to live.

Has anyone out there struggled with this? Or has anyone reached goal (or close to) and not known what to concentrate on after that?

I think whenever we are passionate about something, we are consumed by it. It is always on your mind and therefore that is what is going to come out. Especially to your closest family or friends. I know that I sound like a broken record, telling my best friend about what I ate and what I am going to eat. The passion is what will keep you going so stay obsessed. Great job by the way. I am no way near goal so I can't obsess about that one yet. LOL

Yes its all I think about and all I talk about, and I know when hubby doesnt seem to interested when I am telling him something to do with losing weight etc I get upset. I think he is sick of hearing it.
