The Truth is:

The truth is that health is not an obligation, barometer of worthiness, entirely within our control, or guaranteed under any circumstance.

The truth is that we should all have the opportunity, but never any obligation, to participate …or not… in any diet and/or fitness activity,  whenever we choose to do so.

The truth is that we don't have to make our self-confidence,  our self-esteem, or our self-worth  contingent on our health, what we choose to eat, our participation in fitness, or anything else.

The truth is that other people can talk and talk, but we don't have to pay attention or care what they say.

The truth is that I am the only person who can decide how I feel about myself and my body.

The truth is that  we are worthy, no matter what.

Here at DietHobby, occasionally I share Updates about my ongoing Maintenance Status.  Here are some Charts that show my Current Records. 

I have been consistently tracking all of my daily food and my daily weight since September 2004.  I recently posted some Charts detailing my weight-loss and calorie history. 

See: Charts of My Weight-Loss & First Three Years of Maintenance; and Charts of my Maintenance of Weight-Loss - Years Four through Ten+.


This chart shows my ongoing Maintenance Weight Plan.

Here are some of my CURRENT RECORDS:
 

This Chart shows my daily weights during the past THREE years of maintenance. October 2013 through July 18, 2016 (the present date).

This Chart shows my daily calories during the past THREE years of maintenance. October 2013 through July 18, 2016 (the present date).

For more calorie detail, see the Three charts below which show my
Total Daily Calorie Averages for the past three years - Beginning 7/19/2013 through 7/18/2016. 

This chart shows that my total daily calorie average was 903 calories per day, during the one-year period from 7/19/2013 through 7/18/2014.

This chart shows that my total daily calorie average was 814 calories per day, during the one-year period from 7/19/2014 through 7/18/2015.  

NOTE: During the above-time-period I experimented with logging my actual food into the online program: "My Fitness Pal", and while doing this, I logged only my Daily Calorie Totals (along with my water & vitamins),  into my personal "DietPower" program, therefore ... Except for the Calorie Count, which is accurate,... the detailed Nutritional Data shown is incorrect.

This chart shows that my total daily calorie average was 903 calories per day, during the one-year period from 7/19/2015 through 7/18/2016.
