The Prodigal Daughter Returns...

Forgive me MFP, for I have sinned 
I was about 6 pounds from goal weight in January, but with a major life change, including a new job in a new city, I'm back with about 20 or so to lose now. After an almost 70 pound loss, I told myself I would never back slide, but alas here I am.
I stopped logging and weighing in. I came up with lots of excuses to not run in the am (work starts an hour earlier than before, the summers in south Florida are miserable, etc.). And I ignored how tight my clothes were feeling. But that moment when I could barely zip my favorite dress was the deal breaker. I WILL NOT BUY FAT CLOTHES!!
I know how to do it. I know what it takes. And I'm ready.
