I’m a late 20s female, 5’ 9”, who has gone from about 210 lbs. in 2015 to 150 lbs. now. I’m going to lose about 20 more lbs., though I am healthy now.
I’ve achieved this through tracking calories with MFP, going vegan, cooking at home and doing meal prep, and exercising daily. I probably wouldn’t have been able to do any of this if I didn’t also start working on my mental well being, but I digress.
Now that I can see the light at the end of the weight loss tunnel since I’m nearing my goal weight, I am starting to feel a little weird. Will I have to always count every calorie for the rest of my life to maintain? Will I always be quantifying every morsel for the rest of my life to prevent me from going back up in weight? Will I be tracking calories on my wedding day? Is this emotionally healthy? The thought of needing to be this vigilant forever scares me. I would love to think that one day I could do intuitive eating, but wasn’t that exactly what I was doing that led me to 210 lbs?
I would LOVE to hear from anyone here who has maintained. Thanks!
TL;DR I’m nearing the end of my weight loss journey and I’m scared I’ll be counting calories until I hit the grave, and that scares me.
