going easier on the deficit when you’re close to goal weight

hi everyone, i’m very close to my goal weight and i’m wondering if any of you also squeeze the gap in your calorie deficit once you see yourself closer to your goal weight? i am currently about 4 pounds away from the finish line.

i’m only doing this because i’ve noticed problems with my executive functioning and brain foggy-ness, and i think it has to do with my calorie deficit. i’m a data analyst and my boss called my attention for the accuracy of my work over the last 2 weeks. i’ve also been losing items inside my home such as kitchen scissors and amazon packages. i eat about 1200/1250 cal and burn about 1750/1800 cal according to my apple watch. when i eat at (or close to) maintenance, i do much better cognitively. so i’m thinking of now eating 1400 cal. is this a universal experience??
