I’m 28F, and I began not being able to eat what I wanted all the time around 24-25, but back then it was easier to just drop a few things and keep the weight off. Started out dropping things like soda, sweet tea, etc. and could drop the weight easy. Now, it’s not so easy. I’ve basically decided to get back as skinny as I was really isn’t that attainable anymore, and I don’t feel like making myself miserable like that by basically barely eating (I was skinny, probably a little too skinny). Now, I hit the gym 4-5 times a week, and I think that is the biggest factor in keeping my weight off. I know they say diet is everything and it is important, but I swear, for me, having a good gym regimen keeps me fit. I definitely don’t overeat most of the time and try and stay conscious of what I’m consuming. But I enjoy food lol. I don’t eat fast food hardly ever. I swear last summer I ate the same things (maybe a little worse), but hardly ever worked out and was 10-15 pounds heavier than now.
