I'm not sure if I've ever properly maintained, though in one sense, I'm maintaining, considering I've met my mini goal and sure as **** don't want to gain back any of the 25 pounds I've lost!
When I was 15, I lost 20 pounds. Then, I decided it wasn't good enough, and lost 30 more through eating disorders. After that, I quit the ED behavior, put on 10 pounds ish, and maintained that weight (120-125 range) for around two years. I ate mostly healthy things (though I really didn't eat much, in general, I just was no longer anorexic) and when I
did eat junk, that would be all I'd eat for the whole day (like, if I grabbed a fast food meal, fine, but that would be the only thing I'd eat all day.)
I started eating a lot more (as well as unhealthy things!) and put on 50 pounds in 6 months that I carried with me for over a year.
This time around, I'm not going to mess up my lifestyle change. This is the first time I've ever lost weight the healthy way and I'm going to keep on doing healthy things because I NEVER want to feel as CRAPPY as I did at my highest weight of 175!
