Finally! I recorded my weight history for the past two months. Not a pretty story, but even unpleasant stories must be told. I am happy to say that I am back, as of these past 6 days. I feel so much better. Backsliding is a devious path...very deceptive. You get over-confident of your ability to take off weight that you gained. "Oh, I can take that off quick. It's water weight." Or "Well, I don't regret eating that. It was Valentine's Day (insert any other occasion with food)" You quickly forget that a few days off program can easily turn into weeks and even months. Couple that with stopping/being inconsistent with an exercise routine and you have a recipe for disaster. I found myself choosing to binge and hide food from others frequently and felt extremely depressed.
So here I am...humbled, embarrased by the gain of hard-lost weight...but working on a new beginning.
