Let's Try This Again!

If you have been keeping up with my blog, you know that I have had a lot going on lately! But now that my once a year week long vacation is over, had a great time in Texas last week by the way, I am ready to get back on track and finally get the weight I gained over the last couple of years off!!!

I weighed in on Saturday at 235.5 pounds. So I have gained over 50 pounds back in the last 2 years. 2016 was particularly tough on me. I let the stress get to me and allowed food to be my tool to get through it!

But I've been here before and I won't allow myself to get back to 270 pounds or more! I will get this weight off. I have a nice clean few months to do it. Clean meaning I have no vacations coming up or big events that I feel will get in the way. And after the year I had last year, I am so ready to start eating better and moving more! I am feeling really confident right now and hope to keep up this motivation from this day forward! My first goal is to lose the weight I gained while on vacation and get back to the 220's!!

One thing that I felt really helped me succeed when I got to 180 pounds was keeping up my blog and journaling. Whether anyone reads this or not I know that doing a regular journal helps me tremendously! Why is it online? Because I figured if I can help one person get motivated by my story or help others that have struggled with obesity understand that they are not alone, then it is worth sharing on the world wide web. Plus, it's easy to update from anywhere, whenever I want to post instead of having to carry around a journal. ;)

This time I have decided to share more about why I think I have such a bad relationship with food. I've never written down why I think I have weight troubles but think it may be time. But I will get to that in future posts. For now, just know I am committed and ready to get back on track!
