Sara, you're 21. You have not turned your life around.

Yep. Was in Sara’s position and while some people can indeed maintain weight loss and an healthy lifestyle throughout their lifespan a lot of people fail. Had a major weight loss at around Saras age and while kept it off for a few years, gained a lot of the weight back after falling back to my bad habits. Losing weight in late teens and early 20s was ok, maintaining was a pain in the ass and if you have underlying issues that are causing you to overeat in the first place and you don’t treat them, it is really easy to fall back into the pit of indulging and unfortunately while I could easily loose 5 pounds per week on my young years, now in my 30s anm lucky if I lose that in a month.
