Still hitting the 70's and I could not care less. I no longer gasp at the number staring back at me when I jump on the scale (okay, maybe not jump, cause at this weight I'll split it in two lol). I no longer care what I weigh, what size pants I wear, the size of my dress or the cellulite I get in exchange for MENTAL HEALTH, PHYSICAL HEALTH, STRENGTH, MUSCLES, HAPPINESS and SANITY. I came into this reverse diet with an open mind, optimism and knew what the consequences and rewards were. I probably could have stopped my reverse diet as soon as I hit my maintenance calories (after 3-4 years of being in a caloric deficit, AKA starvation) but I chose to get my macros to infinity and do a "bulk" because my goals have always been to build muscle and I've never given myself that opportunity before since I've always starved my body of fuel to build some. I'm still very happy at the moment with my progress at the gym and with how I look. A size 12 fits me more comfortably right now (thanks big legs and booty) and I choose to no longer buy size 10's (the size I normally wear) just because it's tight AF around my legs. This does not bother me one bit though. I think I may continue to up my calories every 2 weeks for the next 4 weeks before I call it quits. My intake for the past 3 weeks:
Calories- 3850
