Monitoring every single thing I put in my body, no booze and working out an insane amount. Looking back I should have known it wasn't sustainable.

Over time I slowly started putting the weight back on. I still work out almost every day, but I stopped counting calories and started drinking beer again. I kind of settled into my "normal" and have been at 190lbs for the last two years or so.

It was incredibly frustrating and I was really hard on myself once I started gaining weight back, but I think I am almost at the point where I am ready to accept myself and how I am. This is me, and this is a sustainable lifestyle. I still have days where I'm depressed and think "why don't I work just a little harder and get back down to my 160 days", but I have to remind myself that I am healthy and happy, and that's good enough.

how tall are you?
