Here I am. Eek! This means I have to get back to being serious about taking care of myself.
I lost about 35 pounds in the last year. I didn't lose weight *for* my wedding, but after my wedding in March, I did stop working out and stop paying as much attention as I used to. At the doctor's office a few days ago, I found out I have regained 15 pounds! In four months! That's truly, truly awful.
So ... I have to figure out a way to get myself to exercise despite the 100-degree, 90-percent humidity GA heat. And I have to get back on track with eating according to the plan I developed with a nutritionist. It's totally reasonable. I just find it too easy to cheat after a while (clearly).
Tomorrow is my birthday, my 26th birthday. On my 25th birthday I promised myself I would look and feel great by the 26th one. I do look somewhat better, but I am still far, far from my goal. I don't want to be tiny; I want to be a size 10. I was in 14's but now am back in 16's. (I can't believe I just admitted my size in a public forum!) I bought a new pair of jeans last week by mail and was afraid they wouldn't fit, but they do. Now I just can't expand out of these!

I could never buy jeans by mail...even ones that have fit me previously...seems even at the store I can take in two pairs in the same size and style and one will fit and one won't. I think they do that to keep us on our toes.
Sally Don't feel bad. I was down to 14 and gained almost all of the weight I lost last year. I'm now hovering around 16 or 18. Give yourself a pat on the back for deciding to make a change.
We've all been there Sally and I think it's human nature to eat whatever is in front of us. Welcome to the blog and good luck with your health goals!
