I want that again!!

Two months ago I broke my leg which resulted in surgery (plate and screws) and escalatted into having blood clots form and being put on bed rest. I'm finally starting to feel myself again, am back to work after one and a half months off on medical leave, and am trying to get back into my workout routine--started back last week but have to take it slow and easy.

During my recovery phase, I lost 15 pounds--I had a complete loss of appetite--which is unusual as I LOVE food!! I'm not sure if it was due to the stress it caused or if it was because I was afraid I would gain weight back from not exercising and being on bed rest for a couple of weeks?

Fast forward one month to an all-exclusive vacation in Cancun and my brother's death (which happened while I was on vacation) = eating + stress eating. I've put 8 lbs. back on. I'm having a hard time getting motivated. I wish I could get that feeling back of literally having no appetite--it made it so easy!!

I have a personal event at the end of September that I would love to lose a few more pounds for, and I just can't seem to get my eating back on track--it's very frustrating!! And at the same time I cannot do the full blown out workouts that I used to "yet". While it's easy to say it's been a tough, stressful summer so I could chalk up my lack of control to that---I would rather say I can get my head back into the game because I'm tougher / stronger than that.

Just needed to vent here---I know what I need to do...just need to get my head back into it.
