Maybe eating a certain way, I'll just "naturally" end up somewhere higher than my GW. I guess the difference here is between aiming for a number, the number reflecting a maintainable lifestyle, and a maintainable lifestyle that might result in a number I don't love.
I've gained and lost the same 30lbs for the past 10 years, but never managed to maintain my lowest. When I hit my lowest ever (155lbs), I was barely eating and constantly exercising. I suspect my body refuses to go below a certain weight, but this flies in the face of what we all know from CICO: that if I just eat fewer calories, I can attain my goal weight. RIGHT?
Right now, I'm focusing on developing sustainable eating habits (smaller portions, more veg and protein, moderate treats, minimize bingeing and overeating -- I've been steadily losing for the past month) with the hope that I'll arrive at a new weight/relationship to eating and my body this way.
Does anyone have reflections on this? I would love to hear everyone's experiences and thoughts from their journeys.
I have a large build and am very muscular. 35F, 5'10" (179cm), SW:190 CW:170 GW:140
