The article inspired me to reflect on my weight history. Based on that, I don't think I'm one of the ones who is especially prone to putting lost weight back on, but it still made me think over whether I'm willing to exercise the kind of vigilance that the successful weight-losers do--exercise an hour or more a day, weigh daily, keep track of food--forever. The answer is yes. I think the days that I could count on keeping my weight stable just with moderate activity and healthy food choices are over. Now I have to have portion control and specific action plans. I can do that.
