hopeful to discourage back to hopeful...I hope :)

A year and a half ago I joined MFP and soared to new levels I've never new I could do before.
I lost 60+ lbs in 6 months, felt great and in control, met new and motivating friends here and thought I'd never look back.

I met and started dating someone new who was a real foodie. At 6'4" and 175 lbs he had no worries. Then I started working the night shift and finishing up my degree, going to school part time at night. I could not keep up with
the counting and slowly stopped....thinking of course that I could control it all since I have been so "on it" for so long.

WELL, was I wrong!!! A year later I'm back to 300lbs, just 17 lbs under where I started to begin with. I am feeling so disgusted and discouraged with myself. I feel like it's time to shake off the self pity and get this health ball a rollin' again. I see so many that I started with doing so well and hitting there goals....it gives me great hope that I can get where I need to be!!!
