    So many reasons
    Only slept a few hours
    Tinnitus & muscle soreness &
    Fatigue
    Way over-busy with a new time-consuming volunteer job

    I eat more with any one of these, but all 4…

    Doctors Might be close to figuring it out

    But I promised myself I’d never give up & one of The goos Things about maintaining
    Years is I notice the extra we
    Round my body & I know I’m eating when not actually Hungry (in a misguided attempt to get more energy or sooth the sore muscles)

    So, I’m going to Stay Under the calorie number I set for the next 3 days & try ice or heating pads or the Hypervolt … maybe some Stretches.

    I will eat lots of Vegetables & water as I do my 3-day reset. Go back to very low salt.

    Remind myself That I’m only up 1-2 lbs & much of that will drop off quickly.

    @MadisonMolly2017 Sounds like you're in a busy season of life..thanks for sharing how you manage things. I am very shortly switching to maintenance myself and I'm having all sorts of feelings about it! Love learning and reading from those that are in it.

    I read an on-line book or article that was recommended on MFP about maintenance that many folks thought was too strict/draconian, but I took It to heart because I’ve seen the statistics on successful Maintainers. (Sadly, I have not been able to locate it again.)

    The points I remember & my take on them now 3 years 8 months maintaining.

    1. We get very few additional calories (if like me you are losing slowly by the end & you don’t change exercise) in Maintenance than when you were losing.
    True

    2. America is toxic food environment.
    We must fight against that & be vigilant.
    True
