I started with a week or two of counting calories. Then a week or two of eating maintenance calories. Then I jumped off the deep end, got into biking and ate a 1000kcal deficit until I was 30 pounds lighter and obsessed over my weight to the point it probably counts as an eating disorder (they run in the family).
But on the other end of it it was really about readjusting my understanding of portions and my body's signals and developing the ability to resist hunger when I knew I'd had enough.
