However, your issues with overeating-eating-out and night-time snacking may very well still be there on Core - and might be more difficult to handle - I don't know the Core plan but that's my guess. Be sure to plan ahead for those times - I know you can do it! Looking forward to seeing your success!! Roni,

Although I’ve only recorded food in-take for 9 months, it got to be drag, so I stopped abruptly. Consequently, my weight gained. I’m returning to recording my food every once in a while with the intention of leaving it behind. I like your analogy of college and graduating. I had treated food recording as a life sentence, and I like the idea of treating it as a learning tool instead with every once in a while needing to relearn. Great post Roni!

If we could all have a healthy relationship with food, we probably wouldn't be blogging at 10:00 o'clock at night. I applaud your decision to try something new. How do you know if you don't try. I have talked with people who have done Flex and Core and both seemed happy with their choices and both seemed to lose. You, of all people, I know can do it. Just don't be too "wild and crazy." You are taking Core 101, you know! Roni: Again, you have said what needs to be said. If we could all have a healthy relationship with food, we probably wouldn’t be blogging at 10:00 o’clock at night.

Perfect timing too. I recently found myself becoming a little obsessive...agonizing over the numbers and putting all of my focus on food. I lost on WW a couple years ago and now have 5 extra lbs above goal thanks to my now 9 month old. I literally made my husband hide the scale from me b/c i was scaring myself with some of my behaviors. Now I'm learning to eat for enjoyment, but I'm enjoying healthy stuff instead of junk. A reading rec. for you: The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan...learning where our food really comes from can help A LOT with resisting temptation! Love this blog! Perfect timing too.

I would think that you will learn some new mental tools that you can share with us all. I always hear that maintenance is almost harder than losing and WW doesn't really put the focus on that. I read a shocking statistic that said 98% of the people who lose weight regain and then some. Maybe you are on to something revolutionary.... Hi Roni, I look forward to hearing how it works for you.

It really got me thinking too. I don't want to count points for the rest of my life and I had been toying with the idea of Core once I reached my goal. I am very anxious to hear how you like it. I might be saying good bye to Flex myself soon. Good luck!! Roni, that was a great post! It really got me thinking too.

I can only dream of the day when I'm saying 'good bye' to the points! Hahaha.<br/>I wish you the best of luck- any path you take you are still an inspiration! Good Luck Roni!

Seriously, though, one of the things I like about Core is that I feel like it's teaching me how to eat for life. I was always trying to cheat on Flex (i.e. starving myself so I could drink beer), but I'm not doing that on Core. Very insightful, Roni!
