I've always had issues with my weight. I'm 5'1" and the weight I've been at thos height that I was the most comfortable with is 130lbs. I made no notable changes or effort to be that weight. It just happened. Then last summer, after reaching 160 lbs, I started to work my ass off. I was logging everything, I rarely went over 1,200 calories. I bike over 200 miles over the span of 2 months. I only lost 15 lbs, despite the fact that I was obsessive. I started a new semester at college and started a new job, I gave up logging. I stopped biking because winter. I reached almost 170 lbs.
I think I've found my compromise. I eat two meals a day, and eat what I want for those. I still have bad days where I slip up (I have a terrible relationship with food. Bored? Sad? Stressed? Eat about it). But I've generally just been aware, let myself go hungry, and hit the gym.
I'm trying not to pay attention to or obsess over the numbers too much. I've got a ways to go, but I find that weighing myself really puts me down. I feel so disheartened when the numbers don't reflect the work.
But tonight I got the reminder that needed. I tried on that cute dress I rocked last summer, and it fit. Almost loosely. I realized that I am slimming, I am getting stronger and more toned. But more importantly, I'm getting healthier. So I'm okay if I don't hit 130 again. I can wear my cute dress and not die after a 100 ft. jog. I'll live a moderated and sustainable life, work hard, and continue to work on having a healthy relationship with myself, food, and the gym.
