The revenge diet...with a plot twist?

@sscablao I think what makes this logic OK is the realization that you need to start maintenance at a healthy weight. Deficit is not long term.

@sscablao Deficit to a certain point is ok, but after a certain point no you start getting into gross stick figure stuff.

My binge eating was testament to that. And then for a while I was worried I was going to anorexia. I feel the struggle

@kurari It's not about the look honestly. It's about the calorie counting becoming the focus of your life. Deficit when it's all you think about and your #1 priority in your day is a problem. It's the mental state, not the physical appearance, that's the concern.

@xerdaj Yes, yes, yes. I think the word deficit has a negative commotion but it’s good! Extra fat isn’t good for the body and deficits help kill that extra chunk.
