hang in there, you've accomplished so much! I've just started back into healthy eating, and I know its overwhelming. Some days I made great choices, then, like yesterday not so much. Just take each day as it comes0

That is a huge accomplishment losing 147 and the fact that you are recognizing that you need to get back on track is the first step.0

Don't be too hard on yourself. Last year was awful for me. It just topped off a bad few years for me on a personal level. You have to be patient with yourself and not punish yourself too much. As my mind is starting to clear up a bit now, I can see that thats what I did to myself. I now have flicked a mental switch and now feel so much more positive and want to lose the weight Ive gained. It will happen to you. I promise. The time will come when you think, "right, I now need to sort my life out" and you will know its right for you.0

When I fell off I gained back every pound I had lost before, so in my mind you're still waaaay ahead of the game.
As others have mentioned, stress can really be a motivation killer. And then it becomes a vicious circle where you don't want to put the effort in because you feel crappy but you feel crappier for not putting the effort in. Lots of us have been through (or are still going through) tough times - you deserve all the support you can get!0
