I have been adding 2 days a month of "free" days to eat "freely"
ugh... When you say "free" what do you really mean? Like a 1900 calorie day with maybe a slice of cake added... or do you binge on and all the crap you've been "missing out" on all day long?? How many calories do you consume in one of your eat "freely" days?
I can EASILY wipe out 2 weeks work with one day of binging. I think us formerly morbidly obease people have a hard time controlling free days. Mine usually turn into 10000 calorie plus days, so I have had to eliminate them except for a few days a YEAR. I can maintain 145 pounds eating 1900 calories a day as long as I am very active, but when I start the eat freely jazz, all h*ll breaks loose and I start gaining very quickly.
My advice is to either ditch the free days or lower all the other days to less than 1500 to make up for the extra calories. Hey, but great job with the current weight loss!! Very impressive!
