It's probably been mentioned too many times but I experienced something that made me realize it's importance. I lost 50 lbs (220 to 170) over 7-8 months and I've been able to keep it off. But today, I was so exhausted after a workout that I collapsed at the drugstore. I had low blood sugar from the low-carb diet I was on, and leg day always kills me. I got home and realized that I've been putting too much effort in trying to calorie count and everything that I forgot to listen to my body and how it's feeling. I now realize it's okay to let go a few days a week, have a cheat meal here and there, but most importantly, to go slow and easy. Be proud of the gains you're making! Don't stress over eating too much pasta one day or burning out in the gym. It takes time but it's better than falling down in the toothpaste aisle at the drugstore. Thanks to this sub I've really put things in perspective, hope this can help someone out there who might be struggling.
