More pix. The ones from yesterday were before I weighed myself. I'm up to 177, which is now even heavier than I was in 2013 when I started my first weight loss journey. I just feel so disgusting and flabby. I can't imagine my wife finds this attractive, having her husband with a sagging, flabby belly every day. :-(

Hey Buddy! Don't Sweat The Vacation Weight... Especially If You Enjoyed Yourself... Get Back Into The Game And Youll BE On Track Again In No Time, Start With That Nutrition!

Thanks man.

Although it's normal to have slight guilt over an indulgent week or two, it seems like your mindset is bordering into unhealthy. Your wife married you for you.. Not whether you had 10 extra pounds or not. Take a step back and reevaluate your mindset. We are all human and fall off the wagon. Just get right back on and keep trucking. You're in this for a lifetime, not just the few weeks/months it takes to get to your goal.

Thank you for saying this. It's really gotten hard especially when other stressors appear--to put weight gain in context.

Been working on self-esteem in addition to fitness. I try not to weigh myself or focus on losing weight at all, just on becoming more fit.
