How to know when to lose weight or not lose weight?
I have a few questions in regards to knowing when to stop losing weight and when to continue. I view my body as still having to lose 10-15 lbs. However, I have heard differently from other people.

Ugh... Beating Myself Up.
I have officially stuffed myself because I was so frustrated with the fact that I'm gaining weight. It was kind of the whole, "I already blew out," and so I kept going.
