Kicking the comfort food binge

It's been quite the year, hasn't it? I found this app on my phone and it's even better online. I joined because it's just been a really difficult time and I've lost a lot of my strength and motivation to care about myself, and of course, eating is the first thing to go. Especially when everyone around you is providing the worst options possible. Caretaking and grieving have got to be two of the worst things on a healthy lifestyle ever.

But it's time to start turning that corner a little bit. I'm not doing anything extreme, but being accountable to myself is a start. I didn't give up much in the way of working out, so that helps (and probably kept the weight gain lower than it could have been), but if I continue down this path - the hole is going to be even bigger to dig out of. I've had a lot of good luck working through some of the other issues with a support network, but when it comes to health - those are hard to find in my circles.

Tracking and logging is something I've done in the past, but going the other way after some pretty tough health concerns about 4 years ago, I did really good on my own for 3 years but with everything else that I'm going through, I just need a little extra support and push. And I think I've found that here.
