I've been trying to lose about 50 pounds for 2 years. I've gotten about 15-20 lbs down multiple times. My biggest mistake is taking "breaks" a few times over the holidays in which my goal was to maintain, but I keep bubbling back up to my starting weight and it's incredibly frustrating.
During these breaks, I don't even think that I'm going crazy with it- I try to portion control, I avoid alcohol, I'm keeping a vague tally of how many calories I'm eating. Clearly I'm underestimating how much I'm eating (and my family cooks with more oil than I do, so I'm sure that's adding up more than I realize) and very likely taking a lot of "small bites" here and there that I don't think about.
I'm struggling with the idea that once I actually hit my goal weight, I'm going to slip into bad habits and regain again if I'm not tracking all the time. I'm not built for eating a ton (F, 5'6", 185 lbs, slightly higher than average muscle) so I don't have much wiggle room and I think about food almost all the time.
Some advice or personal experience or thoughts on the matter would be really appreciated.
