What Does It Mean to Be Living in Maintenance?

Devoted - You are steadfast in a self-defined way of eating, daily habits, and support structures that truly work for you.

Resourced - You are no longer relying on food as your primary coping mechanism for life's stressors.

Liberated - You are free from constant food and weight struggles, with the mental and emotional space to focus on what matters most in your life.

Additionally:

You are no longer trying to lose or gain weight.

Your weight has been relatively stable for at least a year.

Your Body Roundness Index (BRI) is below 6.91, placing you outside the highest health-risk category.

Maintenance isn’t about perfection. It’s about stability, freedom, and living fully.
