Stress won't be my excuse

I just printed my weight chart for the past year. What a jagged upward trending line. Yikes! It has been a stressful year for sure; dealing with a parent's declining health and eventual death, funeral planning, etc. But I can't blame my weight gain on that. It's all on me. I stopped paying attention to what/how much I was putting in my body. Plain and simple. The past couple weeks I've gotten myself back on track, and that jagged line is going back down. It's a good feeling being back in control. Next step - adding regular exercise to my routine.

    WTG. Battling stress during a weight loss is very difficult. You got this.

    I think it says a lot when a person looks back and says "Hey wait I better improve this" Great job for recognizing and owning your faults. I had a similar experience I lost to my goal 140 then gained to 153 I let life stress get in the way and thought I could go back to some old ways (Food Wise). It did not come back right away but slowly I was recording without measuring a lot. Then the day came that I had to check myself.

    Heres to us getting back at it. I see you too are on your last 10 =)
