Experience giving up tracking to lose weight?? *last 10 lbs*

Female, 5'3", 20 y/o

Sw: 160

Cw: 133

Gw: 120-126?

Been trying to track for two years and have determined calorie tracking doesn't work for me. I tend to feel restricted and end up overeating from feeling like i messed up. I only lost 27 lbs from a very minimal deficit that came from the constant deficit 5 days a week/overeating 2 days a week cycle.

I'm just over it lol. Im active, walk over 10k steps a day, try to strength train 2x/week sorta. I just want to get into the 120s but feel like I can't without tracking, but tracking also feels like its holding me back.

any tips??
