30 y/o Professional spending way too much time working...

And not enough time taking care of myself! Hey MFP family! I am not new to weight loss or to MFP, but I have allowed a promotion in my career to dominate my life and cause me to lose all my fitness and pack on over 50 pounds in a year. I've already battled the feelings of depression and worthlessness but that is counterproductive and I am wasting time, and my life. My husband and I have no kids, and would like some but I want to get back in shape and get back to taking care of myself first. I would love to have some MFP friends to help me stay on track and accountable.

Feel free to add me!:happy:

Feel free to add me! I'm 28 and also working waaaay too much on top of planning a wedding and taking care of most household stuff since my fiance is in school and working (both full-time). The crazy schedule makes it really difficult to make my own health and goals a priority, especially when it comes to taking the time to work out.

Welcome. How do you plan to work back exercise and better eating into your schedule?

Vending machines were a challenge for me, especially if I was bored and unhappy and had to work long hours. So was business travel. There was often nothing to do but order room service. My then-company had a great deal with a nearby gym, but I hated seeing other people there. Sometimes I felt guilty about spending time away from the office.

I can totally relate! My husband and I also got married last summer and bought a house which then had water problems from an earthquake.....planning a wedding is so stressful!

My biggest issue right now is exercise. I used to always have jobs that allowed me to workout during lunch, or I got off early enough (by going in earlier) so that I could come home, eat a snack, workout and still have time to do all the usual veining household chores. Now I am in acomplete rat race. Another issue is because of meetings and scheduling, I rarely get to eat my snacks, or even eat lunch at a normal time, so by the time i get home (an hour and ten minute commute) I am starving and my energy is drained, I really need to make sure I eat a snack right before i leave work to have energy for my workouts when I get home. I used to run 5 plus miles 3 to 4 times a week last year, now I will be starting back with the C25K program.
