I too got a little lazy and neglected FS. So I drank and ate and ate and drank and did not exercise much and as a result put back on 20 lbs over 6 months. What scared me was that I was creeping closer to the 200 lb mark that I worked so hard to get away from. So back on track and am slowing inching away from that 200 mark. Yipes I never want to see that again! Keep moving forward!

That 200 mark is like the dreaded black line that I cant wait to get under! Congrats to get realizing the error in your ways. Today marks my 31st day of tracking my food and exercise on MFP(it syncs with my Fitbit-easier to use for me).. the thing is that I haven't really gained massive amounts of weight, just stalled. I'm tired of being stagnant and am ready to get to my goal. I found that the more places I am active regarding my journey (I have an instagram dedicated to my weightloss, facebook groups, MFP, Fitbit, and here!) the more I succeed so I just need to utilize my resources a bit more.

I'm not an alcoholic, but I think dieting and what's needed to succeed in AA are similar. It requires a "for today" attitude. If you try to lose too much and then have a setback, it can be like a drink for an alcoholic. FS is your "sponsor". :)

I love the comparison to AA, because it's so true! I have also noticed that every time I stop logging food I either stall or regain the weight I lost. Welcome back to FS, good luck on your goals!

I had my RNY thirteen years ago. Picked up thirty pounds after surgery on both knee and total disruption of diet with not eating due to drug therapy, withdrawal from drugs, rediscovering food, and then trying to appease a ravenous appetite. Process took fifteen months before I reaffirmed my control. I know exactly what you mean about never going back. My goal is to loose thirty-eight pounds and reclaim my pre-surgery level of activity..
Like many people who undergo RYN, I have a sluggish thyroid. Thank goodness for increasing medical knowledge in the areas of why and how we gain weight. Things are a lot brighter today than they were over a decade ago. Be encouraged. With your resolve you'll be alright and you will keep moving forward!
