She stops her diet and exercise

Maria feels excited that she managed to lose 15kg and is sure that these outcomes will last. She stops her dietary adjustments and goes back to her previous eating habits. She's really missed eating chocolates!

For the past few months she's been training regularly, with low intensity activities, such walking, some YOGA training. She thinks that it will be just fine if she stops for now. And resume at some point later on.

A few months later, she notices her weight going up, and her pain levels as well. She cannot believe that things have gotten worse so quickly. It's taken her so long to come to this point and to lose all that now. She reflects on that and tries to figure out what is the best thing to do.
