here2bhealthy's Journal, 07 August 2016

It's been 177 days (nearly six months) since my last weigh in. Six months ago, I was a stay-at-home mom of a preschooler and had an easier time of scheduling exercise and meal planning. Now as a full-time working lone parent, I've found it difficult to squeeze quality time with my little one, exercise and healthier meal planning into the limited time I have before and after work. I fell back on bad habits (wine), eating late and not monitoring my portions. I wasn’t doing weekly weigh ins to even keep myself aware of what was happening. The thing that prompted me to take action (again!) was seeing myself in a photo. *sigh* Time to get back on track. Glad to see familiar profiles still here and maintaining. I am encouraged … and trying very hard not to feel ashamed of myself for this colossal gain.

Hey...no don't be 'ashamed'. You're right back & ready to start new journey that's the important thing. Good luck & well done for recognising what was wrong and being inspired to change after seeing photos rather than giving up further. As a busy mum you have plenty on your plate so being kind tk yourself & not beating yourself upif things don't quite gk to plan will be important.

I think it takes time to adjust to life changes like that, and things are bound to go haywire. Well done for making a new resolve and coming back. I guess you need to find time for a good planning session - it's going to take some time to work out how you can best fit in good food habits and exercise, if needed. Kicking the wine habit would definitely be a good first step! I'd tend to go for a gradual reduction myself.
