    Prolonged, fairly severe deficit slowed down my metabolism. I now take a one or two week diet break every three months, eating at TDEE.

    Comparing my habits to others doesn't work for me. I enjoy these forums, for example, and I do get great ideas and inspiration from them...but I've gotta be careful. Sometimes I can be quite competitive and with diet/exercise I don't think that is always healthy for me. So I can't take others' habits too seriously and let it affect my own. For example if I read about someone who is eating 100% "clean" and lifting and running every day but is around my size, it will get under my skin and I will start to feel like a failure for my own less strict diet and simple walk of a few miles.
