A few years ago right before I met my husband I had lost 60lbs. Coming from 235lbs to 175lbs. I had kept the weight off for about a year. I've since then have gained most of it back. It had felt so easy then. I was logging my calories and exercise on MFP. The weight just seemed to melt off me. I was working 12hr shifts at a nursing home 3 days a week and working out on my days off. I had lots of motivation. Even had gotten a couple other girl from working doing it with me. I was losing 3lbs every 2weeks most of the time. Rarely was it less than that. I would go to the gym most days. Some days I would go for a walk even doing a few rounds of just dance. I was religiously entering every calorie in and every calorie I burnt. Everything was coming so easy for me. Now almost 3 years later I'm back up to 219lbs and most of the time don't even have enough motivation, or control to make it through a couple of days. I just end up getting so frustrated. I have since then gotten married, moved away from my family and friends, and I work shorter hours and more days. I feel that has a lot to do with why I'm struggling. I only see my family a couple times a month. Last time I seen or heard from any of my friends was my wedding day and that was almost three months ago. So it's usually just me, my husband, and my dog. I work 2nd shift. Which is opposite of my husband. All I feel like I'm doing is sleeping eating and working. I don't get to do the things that I enjoy doing, because I don't want to do them alone. That's how I feel.... Alone. I don't feel like I have much of a support system. Other than my husband. He tries his best, but sometimes he sounds like he's nagging me not supporting me. Then again it might just be me. I don't know. If anybody has any extra motivation to spare. I could definitely use some
