I was eating twice as much food as a normal person. At the end of the week, I was happy to see that I had gained 5 pounds. The next week, I took it easy and just ate like I normally would. I lost 10 pounds.Aigh!
I know the plight of reverse dieting all too well. I've added an extra thousand calories to my diet daily, but with cardio I still do not see a gain in weight. I stuffed myself straight, to the point of bursting. A few months later I gained a pound... I think?
At this point I'm done over stuffing, but still push to eat a little bit more than I normally would. If my destiny is to always be tall and skinny, then that's how I'll be. I'm just trying to keep from losing anymore!
One perk I've found to be amusing is going to the gym and racking my weights on. Sometimes I'll work in with a huge guy who thinks he's a hot shot. I love seeing their expression when my weight is equal, if not more, to what they are doing.
