What makes those last 10 pounds so much harder to lose than the first 10? And once we’ve bombed away that weight, how do we make the blast last? What should we do when we hit that seemingly insurmountable wall between us and the last 10 pounds to our ideal weight?
Experts tell us the closer we get to our ideal weight, the harder the pounds are to come off. For one thing, we tend to be highly motivated when we begin a weight-loss program, so we stick to is more carefully. But once the pounds roll off, we tend to drop our guard. Of course, an occasional dietary slip won’t derail the best-laid plan.
But when splurges become a habit — we have a clear warning that our willpower is weakening and we’re getting off course. What’s happening is that our commitment is slipping at a time when, if we want to continue seeing weight loss, we have to watch our food choices even more carefully.
