    "What is normal eating?" 5'1 43F 274.4>234.4=40lb lost

    @bubble5 Thank you, that's reassuring! I was pretty uh... not grounded and very impractical when I tried losing weight the first time and it didn't stick. Hoping I've learned to do better over the last five years!

    "What is normal eating?" 5'1 43F 274.4>234.4=40lb lost

    @onelovejenn Oh, I'm bad at wording lol... I'm not plateauing! I'm actually still losing rather quickly (though slower than at the start, obviously) When I said flagging I meant... mentally/emotionally I guess? Like... starting to get frustrated because it feels so interminably loooong. And...

    @leachim7 Oh wow, thank you so much for all the detail! It's especially helpful seeing how you felt on various days/times! And I used to split 50/50 with my daughter, who's much taller and has a higher limit... maybe we will do the 1/3 thing too 😆 I also appreciate the clarification on...

    @eternalbliss Thank you 😊 It does help!! I'm still counting calories right now, but I'm just trying to envision how a day would look at "normal" or "healthy"... And typically we don't think of food in numbers, so hearing the meals described really helps me conceptualize!! Also your meals...
