Day 1: Yikes, Constant Vigilance!

So, I was reading a blog during lunch time today, the url for which is found here (click me) and I came upon a statement which was associated to a study done regarding breakfast eaters vs. breakfast skippers. The study concluded that those who ate breakfast gained less abdominal weight than those who skipped breakfast. But what caught my eye was this quote -

All the participants gained weight as would be expected of most people who are not taking any specific measures to control their weight.

That statement was almost casual, as though this were a law of nature. Is it true? I'm starting to believe that it is. I've always thought that there were just some people who never had to think about losing weight because their bodies were just naturally in-shape. And I even believed of myself that once I reached my own goal weight that I would then not have to think about maintaining that weight -- that somehow something magical would happen once I reached my goal weight and I would never have weight troubles again.

Naive...I know. So, I guess one of the first things I have got to get straight in my brain is that losing weight and then keeping healthy is an active, ongoing, CONSTANT activity. I will always have to "take specific measures to control [my] weight." That stinks. But it's always good to know the reality of life. :)
