Calorie counting is also a way of starving yourself. Starving from food is how you get your body to use fat stores for energy. Its only a problem if you have a distorted body image or develop nutritional deficiencies from poor choices.

I gained 60lbs during my pregnancy! Lost 40 since giving birth 6 months ago. I'm definitely ready to shed the last 20lbs (or maybe 30) for summer. We can make it happen. Just gotta take it day by day.
