Getting a grip!

Charli8285

Hi all..
Just wanted to write a little post while it is on my mind and I know that this is the best way for me to hold myself accountable..!
So, I'm Charlotte, 28 (rapidly approaching 29) years old, and have a plan to reach my goal weight by my 30th birthday. I have just over 100lbs to lose, so it's an ambitious goal! Anyway, like most people on here I have battled with my weight for most of my life, and have yoyo'd up and down constantly throughout my 20's. I joined MFP in August, and began exercising, tracking my food and really taking care of myself. I felt great, and lost over 20lbs in the first 2 months. Then, in November things got busy at work and I had some holidays so was out of routine, and gradually I stopped tracking, exercise reduced and eventually my old eating habits ol skipping meals then binging in the evening slipped back in.
The last week or two I have felt really lethargic, and down about undoing all the work I had done. I have realised now though that I have two choices; roll over and give up, or fight for this as hard as I can.. And I'm not the 'roll over and give up' type!
Tomorrow morning I am going to stop avoiding the scale, and face up to the damage I have done over the last few weeks. Then I am going to do my best to re-start all the good habits I had got into.
2014 is going to be a good year. I could use all the support and encouragement I can get, and I enjoy supporting others, so if anyone wants to add me, let's battle this together!
