Default I'm back and not proud!

I didn't gain it all back.....but I gained alot of it back!!

Oh the dangers of emotional eating.....between a health scare and a painful break up I put back all but 43 lbs of what I lost...it only took 5 months to pack it on again!

I refuse to let it continue so started induction today.
I changed my poundage ticker back (I was down to 243) but I'm leaving my picture there so I can remind myself how much better I looked and felt 5 months ago!!!

Wow. What a difference the loss of weight made. Good for you that you did it before because you KNOW you can do it again. I'm sorry you went through tough times and I know how easy falling into that pit can be. You're obviously stronger and ready to take control back, so do it with gusto.

And it's sick how fast the weight comes back when you go back to old, bad ways. It takes so long to drop the weight then blam-o, it's back before you realize how bad it is.

Thumbs up Re: I'm back and not proud!

Hello Greg,
I'm so glad to see you back here my friend. Sorry to hear about your painful breakup. It's time to put all that behind you and take care of you.
It is incredible how quickly it comes back on. I know from personal experience myself. The good thing about Atkins is that you can get yourself turned around and the weight comes off just as quickly as it came on.
WELCOME BACK to the healthiest WOE there is. You're with friends here, and we'll support you all the way!
One day at a time. Keep moving forward and you'll get your well being feeling and positive outlook back.
What's important is you're here and holding yourself accountable.
Kudo's!!!
Sincerely, Sherri

Welcome back Greg and congratulations for not gaining back those last 43 pounds, plus some! By stopping the maddness now, you're showing that you have what it takes to succeed. Good luck and visit us often.
