    I stopped counting recently and I feel a lot less stressed about eating. I just eat normal portions. I'm even losing weight! I do keep a food journal and record how I feel after each meal to see if there are any triggers or any foods that affect me positively.

    I am an adult. I was on a paleo forum once and mentioned I eat half a cup of rice a day and was kicked out so im a little bit nervous haha

    I lost 80 lbs so far and would like to use the last 20 to learn to eat intuitively
    I'm working on that, too. I kind of got to the point where if I wasn't weighing and logging all my food, I wasn't sure how to eat! Was I eating too much? Too little?

    I do not even think that I could go the rest of my life weighing and logging every bite of food I eat, so it's important for me to learn to eat now, while I finish losing my weight.

    When I began all this, I'd never have guessed that I would have this issue, lol.

    I'm certain that I can learn to eat without needing a scale or a computer. It's a little work on my part, but I'll get there. :)

    This is what I want to do actually. Because now that I'm so close to my goal tracking kind of scares me; it's not practical. I want to eat better so I don't have to worry anymore. I only have roughly 10 pounds to go myself.

    This is awesome. I am hoping it works for me

    I don't count calories anymore, been intuitive eating for a few weeks now. It's nice not to have numbers on my mind 24/7 and thinking about when I would put my meals into the diary! Counted for about 2 years so I know enough about nutrition and what I'm eating to go it alone, fuelling workouts etc...
    Just being mindful about eating really. Wanted to find a sustainable way to continue eating well without having to count for the rest of my life! working so far.

    I go through fits and spurts. I will log for a bit mainly to give myself an idea of what I am doing well or doing poorly. Then I go back to just making it up as I go. Been maintaining for a year so pretty good but I decided to get back on here for a while again to get a better grip on what I need to do to lose a bit more.

    They'd probably let you back in if you said you did crossfit, just like the cave people did.

    I don't count :smile:
    I used to, and I check macros and stuff on occasion, but I've spent the last year trying to apply what I've learned and transition to mindful & 'intuitive eating'... it's not easy, but I'm getting there :smile:
