Kanna,

You said it right - it is a journey.

Because it is not something you can do for a few months and stop.In order to maintain the weight,you have to continue with your protocol of 'EATING RIGHT' life long.If you give it up and start eating everything again,you are bound to gain weight.

'EATING RIGHT' should be a part of your daily life just as we brush our teeth and take a shower daily.
