Back on the Horse. Again.
Having gone through hell the last nine months, my weight was the first thing to spring back. It absolutely kills me to say this, but I'm back over 200 pounds. 205.6 to be exact.

I'm not sure if anyone even follows this anymore since I've been AWOL since October, but if you do, please don't judge me. Don't tell me what I did wrong and how I quit and blah blah blah. I know what I did wrong. I stopped caring about my weight amidst a non-stop stressful life. There were other things that became much more important to me than watching what I ate. And yes, stress (and money) played a major role in the quality of foods I consumed.

And now I'm rambling.

I'm picking this back up. Am I going to eat perfectly? Never put a simple carb in my body again? Never miss a workout? Can't say that I will. I'm a mom and wife with a full-time job in addition to the other everyday responsibilities. However, I'm going to start making my health a priority again.

If anyone is still out there, I need your support. I don't need to be judged for how I've allowed myself to slip this far, or to be told you don't have faith in my efforts this time around. While I can see the urge to do so (and to a point, the right), that will only discourage me. I can't do discouragement right now.

Ok, wow. This post was way too serious. Time for a joke.

Q. What does Snoop Dogg use to brighten his laundry?

A. Bleeyoch

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Beck! I was just wondering about you the other day. NO judging here. I've slipped and gotten back up and slipped again. Everything I promised myself I wouldn't do again I've done.

We can never give up. We may backslide but we know what we need to do and when we're ready...we'll do it!

Good luck to you. Keep on pushing.

Beck, I forgot to tell you that I've gained more than 20 lbs. back myself. It's a war!

The only failure is denial, and you're facing the problem head on. That's all you can really do, so here's to doing just that!

Welcome back.

Beck, I would never judge. I think a lot of us have put on some lbs over the past many stressful months. Just remember that you've done it before, so you KNOW you can do it again.

This is so a life-long thing. It's nearly impossible to maintain success the entire way.

Today is a new day.

I'm still here, and same as you, still struggling- we're all in this together, not to judge, but to nudge and support and to have someone for ourselves to lean on when we are falling over. Good to see you back!

very glad to see you back! As has been said, through all of our ups and downs I really do we're all in this together. I sincerely wish you good luck, and above all else, WELCOME BACK.

No judgements here. I caught your blog because you played racquetball once, I play racquetball (an over weight girl), and subscribe to a google feed, and thats how I found you. I have been encouraged ever since. It's nice to see your strugles, and how you put it all out there because I encounter them all the time. Also a mother, so its hard to see my little ones get to eat whatever they want, albeit the healthy stuff I give them with the occasional sweet, and not over indulge. Looking foward to reading on your new blog.
