Well, this weight is my "eat what I want when I want (but don't go crazy)
and only do a minimum of exercise" weight. It's nice to know that in my
current way of life, eating mostly low-carb and exercising regularly is
just normal now, and what I'm doing when I'm not even trying is enough to
keep me from gaining past this point.

Because I haven't been pushing myself to stop eating even when I'm still
hungry, and I haven't been pushing myself to do more exercise or higher
intensity exercise, I feel like I've been on a break, even though this
"break" is nowhere near as unhealthy a lifestyle as I had pre-lc.

Pre-lc, if I wanted a snack, I'd eat a whole bag of potato chips. In my
"not trying to lose weight" phase as of late, if I want a snack I have
some
almonds, pistachios, cheese, or steamed buttered broccoli, something like
that. During "weight loss" mode, if I want a snack, I just butch up and
go
do something else.
It's amazing what we can do when we start living and quit obsessing. I am
living proof.
