So, I totally gave up on my weight. Between my job, my depression, and my family situation , I gave up. I started back on my meds in August, and by the end of the month, I was ready.
I stepped on the scale and found that not only had I put on all the weight I lost in 2014, I was 23lbs heavier than when I started. I almost gave up and didn't even try again. Then I had three job interviews with a new company.
They were going so well, until I went to the fourth interview. As soon as I walked in, and shook the interviewer's hand, I knew I had lost the job due to my weight. Nothing was ever explicitly said, but we both knew. We went through the motions, and a half an hour later, I walked out of that office knowing I wouldn't receive an offer.
I started the very next day. FatSecret had always been such a help, so I came back. I promised myself that I wouldn't write this journal entry until I lost all the weight I gained back, and hit the 150lbs total lost point. Today, 4 1/2 months later, I hit that goal. I have lost 86 lbs since August 31St, and 150lbs total since my highest recorded weight!
I still have 110lbs to go, but this time, I have an awesome real-life diet buddy who holds me accountable, and a job that keeps me walking 5 miles a day instead of sitting on my ass all day. I'm back to reading people's journals daily and am on course!
I still have a long way to go, but I successfully lost weight over the holiday season, and still ate sweets and drank on New Year's. I am going to celebrate this weekend by going to the local vape shop and getting a new tank for my mod and some peppermint flavored juice. Then, after I lose 10lbs more, I am going to get two new pair of work pants and a new bra!
I am not going to give up. I may have knocked myself down for a while, but I got back up, brushed off my knees, and kept on going!
