I seriously suck.
This time last year, I was nearly fifty pounds down from my starting point. FIFTY POUNDS. I was exercising nearly every day, and tracking my food to be sure I stayed within my calories, and generally feeling pretty damn good.
Then I found out I could buy a place, and my exercise fell by the wayside while I was packing to move, then while I was living with my sister, waiting for my place to close. I tried several times to get back into it, but both the will and the flesh were weaker than I liked to admit; I always fell back off again.
This morning I got on the Wii Fit, determined to make another go of it.
I've gained back thirty pounds.
THIRTY. POUNDS.
I was horrified. I mean, HORRIFIED. What the hell? How did I let myself do that? What was I THINKING? And most of the weight gain has been over the summer, because last spring I was only up about 10-12 pounds. It's shocking how easy it is to put it back on again--and to eat badly even when you think you're being relatively good, overall.
SO. I'm back on SparkPeople now, and I'm exercising again, and DAMN if I will let myself fall back into that trap. My goal is to be back where I was by Thanksgiving, and I WILL do it, damn it.
THIRTY FREAKING POUNDS OMG.
