Hi there! I've personally lost weight a few times in the past and have always gained it back to hit another all-time high. About 40 days ago, I realized I got to a massive all-time high and it freaked me out so I started my "diet" again. Since then, I'm down ~15 pounds or so. I don't feel miserable or unhappy and I'm essentially doing CICO, trying to get in as much protein as possible, and eating meals I enjoy (with proper substitutions like low-fat cheese, low-carb tortillas, lean meats instead of their fattier versions, etc.)
In all the times I've lost weight in the past, I never actually hit my goal weight but would always lose 15-20 pounds and then "take a break" and gain it all back. That's why I feel better about this time because I'm determined to get to my goal weight but I'm doing it in phases (the first phase ends in 20 days and I'll have maybe one cheat day and a little bit of time on maintenance before starting phase two).
All of that being said, I've told myself that this is my final weight loss journey. I'm losing it and keeping it off this time because I'm sick of "losing" weight all the time. But a part of me is terrified about falling off the wagon and gaining it all back like before. Is there anything you guys have done to deal with this mentally? Also, sometimes I feel so controlled (even though my diet is not very restrictive) but at times I miss stuffing my face with fast food to my heart's content and not having a care in the world about calories, even though it made me feel horrible after and, well, caused me to gain so much weight.
