Sounds like you are already on a great path with your clean eating. I was hoping I would drop weight quickly when I quit, as I have previously, but it didn't happen this time. I think it's harder to lose as I get older (42). My grandpa always said "Getting older isn't for sissy's!"
I gave myself a lot of leeway at first, I ate pretty much whatever I wanted. After a month or so I switched to clean eating, but I wasn't monitoring my intake. Now more than two months in I'm paying attention to macro's and getting more exercise, I've lost about 8 lbs.
It's all part of the lifestyle change, I know every day I am getting healthier so I'm not going to stress about the weight too much. It will happen.
You sound like you are in a better place mentally Steve, good for you!!!
