Well... after 141 days of not being here, I have managed to gain an obscene amount of weight. Honestly, I can say that the beginning of my end was Halloween, and it just kept going downhill, through Christmas and New Year, and on to Valentine's day. But no more! I am sick of this. The new jeans that I bought a few months ago are now getting uncomfortable, and I REFUSE TO BUY BIGGER clothes again. No way in hell!
I started small this morning. I walked/marched in place for 45 minutes while watching tv. It's too damn cold for me to walk outside. I need to get myself a new pedometer, as my old one broke a few months ago. I am hoping to get myself back on track before the snow and ice melt, so that as soon as it's a decent temp out there (not -40C) I can get back to walking (and using my poles).
I'm mad at myself, and I think I've finally gotten to the point where I can't stand it anymore. I managed to lose just shy of 75lb last year, and in four months, I managed to gain back a third of that. How pathetic.
Goals for March... walk at least 45 minutes every day in the house. Do light weights 3 times a week. Get back on limiting my carbs. Track my water intake. Lose 10 pounds.

Please be gentle with yourself. We all make mistakes. It's part of being human. :) But use that anger as energy to help focus on eating a huge breakfast instead of skimping on the most important meal of the day, and the easiest to skimp on: Break-fast! We've been fasting all night! we need food! LOTs of it. :)
We need our calories early morning so we have them during the day, or we will crave sweets or high calorie treats all the rest of the day.
If I don't eat enough breakfast, and/or lunch, I turn into a cookie monster! :)
Instead of constantly being worried (& stressed) about NOT eating too much, I focus on getting ENOUGH calories before 2pm.
Then, after that I am not craving, not even hungry for dinner, and only eat a healthy snack, and rarely after 7pm

Been there done that! I vow that this is the last time I will put it all back on because it is now a lifestyle to write down everything I eat (good and bad) and will become second nature, like brushing my teeth! Hang in there! We are all here to support you on this journey!

i'm in your sailboat girl!! my numbers even mirror yours! I could blame it on financial ups and downs or marriage ups and downs but basically it came down to me making the decision to not take care of myself.....again. i'm ready to start over and forgive myself for the past

I'm glad you're back. That's a big step in the right direction. You know what to do, so just put one foot in front of the other and start moving. Nobody is perfect and weight loss is not a straight line to success. Take some time to reflect on what the last 141 days have been like for you and what decisions and behaviors you encountered that kept you off track. Look for patterns and make a plan for how you will choose or behave differently in the future. Don't think you have to be perfect. You can always veer off your path a bit, but the true success happens when you can steer yourself back on course, even if it takes 141 days. Best of luck to you. You can do it!
