So I'm back. I started out here several years ago, and the advice on this sub made a huge difference in my life. I started counting calories and went from 280 pounds down to 180 pounds. I was stunned; I never thought I could lose so much weight!
Unfortunately, I didn't stick with it. I started working at a fast food restaurant and eating nearly every meal there every day. I got a boyfriend and stopped working out in favor of sitting on the couch watching TV with him. I let myself go.
And now today I stepped on the scale and I'm at 252.6 pounds. I've gained back 70 pounds of what I lost. I'm honestly disgusted with myself. I swore I wouldn't fall back into bad patterns and let this happen, and then I did exactly that.
So I'm back. I'm making a list of things to buy at the store, starting with a food scale. I downloaded a calorie tracker on my phone, and I'm going to start logging all my meals again. I refuse to accept that this is the body I'm stuck with. I will lose the weight, and this time I will keep it off.
Thank you all for sharing your stories and your thoughts for those of us who need them. I see how many of you have been successful on this journey and know that I will be, too!
