Starting from group zero... AGAIN!

ddrokzilla

Hello everyone! My name is Denise and I am 24 years old.

I actually started on MFP around 2015 and was doing great, I was able to lose almost 40 pounds but reality hit me today. Today, I found that I had went back to my original weight and the reason why I have been so hard on myself was that I was mad at myself for gaining all this weight back.

Just wanted to introduce myself again and hopefully gain some active pals to help me on my journey again.

Some factors that have changed from 2015:
- Was in undergrad on a hilly and walkable campus --> Currently in Grad school where most days are spent in one classroom.
- Motivation to go to school gym is now gone due to constant studying aka "excuses" lol.
- I used to walk to school everyday (2.5 miles) but now must drive commute to school
- Exams every two weeks, drive me to snack constantly.

I find that I don't generally eat unhealthy items, as a pharmacy student I periodically check my blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol levels and they are all within normal ranges. I think my problem is more of a stress eating type of deal, where if I'm stressed, I will snack til there is no return. I will admit that I have allowed myself to consume processed snacks again but will cut my self off of it!

Sorry for the read, but I posted this thread just to motivate myself to keep on track and possibly get some advice on what to snack on or how to stop snacking? I have recently been going to the gym on Mon,Wed, and Fridays as well.

Please feel free to add me on MFP: ddrokzilla

This picture was my previous process when I had first start MFP. (2012 vs 2015)
