Do you just keep counting forever?

So I am a little less than 20lbs away from my goal weight (I’m 163.6, started at 185 and my goal is 145 I think). Anyway I’ve been very consistent with tracking and weighing and planing meals to maximize protein etc.

Ideally I would get to my goal weight or maybe even 140 and then try to eat intuitively. I plan to basically maintain my breakfast/ lunch/snack routines but let myself “eye ball” dinner. I’m obviously still month and months away from being at goal but I’m trying to imagine what the after looks like.

Am I going to be counting forever?
