The biggest trigger on my first rebound from weight loss was mental. I had what I call "penance mentality."

I felt bad because of gaining weight, so I wanted to make up for it by being extra good, doing "penance." By doing "penance" I was "forgiven." Nature and my metabolism started working for me and I lost weight. All was "forgiven" and I felt like then I could go back to my old "normal" ways, just not quite as bad as before.

Failure was set up from the very beginning, it just manifested at the end after my weight was lost. Now being thin is no longer a "diet" for me. It's long-term and residual effect of following the Yin Yang Diet, switching my metabolism from late summer weight gain mode, to winter weight loss mode.

When will I go back to "normal" eating? Well the answer is, "When do I want to pack on the fat to make it through a lean winter?"

Ummmm.....never :)
