Starting over

Well this sucks.
I began working out August 30th 2011, between then and Novemer 2011 I lost over 40 lbs and was doing great. Then it all fell apart. My wife had surgery and both of our eating habits slipped but nothing we could not recover from. But then the week of Thanksgiving I lost my job. I quickly realized how I still turn to food during times of depression. I could not afford the daily trip to the gym anymore and began eating all of the wrong foods again.
I have been out of wok since then and gaining weight the whole time. I am happy to say that I have found a new job and am returning to the gym. I stepped on the scale for the first time since November and realized I had gained all but 6 lbs of what I had worked so hard to loose. This was devastating to say the least.
So let the games begin and let me start again. I have regained my positive attitude and am eager to transform my body. I am going to do everything in my power to make sure I do not go in the wrong direction again.

Welcome back. I went thru a similar struggle where I had lost 40 lbs then ended up losing everything to Hurricane Irene and went thru a downward spiral where I didn't care and regained it all. I'm finally back on track and losing again. You can do it.0
