    I hear you Sista!!! I've ate all the right foods, drank the appropriate amount of WATER, and excercised my touchie off. What did I have to show for all the hard work, NOTHING, NADA, ZIP!!! And, I failed the PFT to boot. I don't know maybe its age, I know it was not for lack of trying...And so, here I am,, still in the game, still living. Healthy and Happy for the most part, if ONLY my weight were normal, normal, what is that now a days. All studies state that 30% or higher body fat is obese and can lead to sooo many health risks. I am 52yrs old, have a very good ticker (stress test done not one month ago) all levels are within normal, glucose on the high side of normal. The only alerts were my Iron, Calcuim, and Vit D levels were low. I can't say I feel like a 20 year old, I'm not, I feel like a 52 year old.

    lol I get the point of this... but 2000 is an arbitrary TDEE. Some of us have a smaller TDEE than that. And some of us don't eat a ton but have gained weight slowly over time... like 100-200 calories over TDEE. :p

    This is just awesome. Thank you for posting this. I haven't really slipped too much yet in my diet, but I know I will eventually (I'm only human), and I'm thinking I should save this post to look back on later. I believe it'll help me carry on, forgive myself, and start again tomorrow. One slip up doesn't equal total failure! :heart:

    I dont want to brag.. but I CAN eat a whole sack of oreos and feel like real *kitten* about it.

    However- I LOVE LOVE LOVED this post. I wouldnt eat a whole sack of oreos these days - but I do have my bad days and I try to keep this in mind- that if I ate at maintenance for ONE day- it is NOT the end of the world. (and thats about as bad as it gets these days- eating at my TDEE - not well above it like old days.)

    Thanks for this!
