25F 5’5” SW: 178 GW: 130
I had a bit of a shock when I pulled my scale out of the closet and stepped on it for the first time in over a year. I knew I’d been gaining weight since I stopped working out and watching what I ate, but I hadn’t realized how much I’d gained. I had a very healthy lifestyle until I took a sedentary job that requires Mon-Fri travel and moved to another state where I had no friends in Oct 2016. My diet got out of control and I couldn’t keep up a good workout schedule with all of the travel.
Dec 2017 I crossed 170 for the first time in my life. I buckled down and lost 20 pounds in five months. I maintained that until Dec 2018 when I started dating my boyfriend. He is not careful about what he eats and is very sedentary. I unfortunately used that as an excuse to not care as much about my body. I stopped weighing myself and watched my thighs and stomach grow but tried to tell myself it couldn’t be as bad as I thought it was.
The good thing is that I started to work from home last week and I know I’m eating better since I usually eat out every meal. I’ve stopped buying soda and started counting calories. I also have time to form a habit in regards to working out and I feel like I can get out of this hole if I can just stay motivated.
