Thanks for your reply. I should have been more clear, I'm not eating at 1200 anymore, but between 1500 and 1800. The goal is definitely not to lose more weight, but to get more shape and in shape. Currently, I have the skinny fat syndrome, lol. I just don't want to experience the sudden weight gain I had before, because I feel a lot better now than beck when I was 40 pounds heavier. Since I was kind of used being less heavy due to me being so tall.

You are right though. It's just that I feel like nowadays there is like this pressure that you have to read all the labels, keep track of everything, count the numbers, macros, yadda yadda, that one misstep can feel like this huge 'oh no, what have you done' moment.

I eventually rationalize myself because I know you don't suddenly gain weight because of one day or even a few days of bad eating habits. Or that if you don't reach your macros you're going to die. It's just that sometimes it overwhelms me so that I feel as if I am 'doing it wrong'. It's hard to explain.

I just want to know others' experiences in finding balance between enjoying everything and feeling the need to log everything and always performing your best, in the gym and the kitchen.
