Less Food = Good Advice?

Genuinely sorry you're dealing with that, though honestly a little relieved to see I'm not alone in this. Heard people suggest bumping calories up for a bit then dropping back down again.

ive never logged a single meal or drink in over two years and still had an amazing run, down 75lbs over that stretch. honestly didnt even realize how much id lost until typing this out, pretty wild. i get why tracking works for some people and i respect that discipline, but for me its exactly the kind of thing that burns me out and i just quit doing it. the real focus shouldnt be dieting itself since thats not sustainable long term for most people, its more about building better habits and smaller portions. you adapt to the medicine over time too. my family jokes constantly about my tiny portions these days. i genuinely dislike eating this little sometimes, but i love where ive ended up so i wouldnt change a thing.
