I've recently come to a fork in the road also.
I had been training and eating consistently for a few years, until about 9 months ago when I took a break from it all. Before that I never missed meals, never ate junk, got plenty of sleep, never missed a workout unless I was bed ridden, never touched alcohol, put training and eating ahead of a social life and work.
Where did all this get me? Well, I got reasonably strong for an average lifter, was always struggling with sore knees, was never happy with my physique so I was always swinging between bulking and cutting. Most people who saw me wouldn't have guessed that I lifted or that I put so much time and effort into it. Don't get me wrong, it was a great feeling being stronger than you were last week, but deep down I was never truly happy.
I started training again about 3 months ago, but within a week of getting back into it I injured my back (stupidly) and it hasn't been the same since. My knees are still a bit dodgy, especially if I try and do low rep squats. Basically, when I try to lift heavy I end up feeling like an 80 year old man for the next week. As a 24 year old this is no fun.
So where does that leave me now? Well, I basically train for enjoyment now more than anything. I still lift regularly although it's not the end of the world if my lifts don't go up every session. I'm not forcing myself to eat huge meals every 3 hours to the minute and now I feel so much better for it, I look better and it doesn't get in the way of living my life. I train and eat to be healthy, fit and stronger than your average gym goer, but I don't let it get in the way of all the other things in life as I used to.
