It is apparent that my health is important to me, but was never successful in keeping weight off long term for 10 plus years because I was in the horrible cycle of binging, restricting, and spinning my wheels.

I've always been average weight, but really put priority on being smaller, weighing less, and then it changed to me wanting to be leaner and more fit
