Seriously trippyyy. I've maintained/lost weight, lost 1.4% body fat, and INCREASED my calories. In the back of my mind, I've been afraid this whole time that maybe I was different than all the other girls out there who were successful with reverse dieting. Maybe I had restricted for too long. Maybe it only works for bodybuilders/competitors, instafamous fitspirations… maybe I was hopeless. 

It feels SO AMAZING to see this actually working. Of course, time will tell just how high I can get my calories up… but even the 40 calories a week I am adding has made such a difference. I can do 3 unassisted pull-ups now! I'm feeling stronger and just all around happier every day. I looooooove reverse dieting!! And ice cream!! :P
