in Introduce Yourself
I was doing sooooo good. I was working out 6 days a week from May 2014 to Feb. 2015 then I stopped. I had lost 11 lbs, but a crazy amount of inches. I made it through Jillian Michaels Body Revolution (which I was super proud of) and numerous other workout DVDs. Why did I stop? Cause I'm a friggen idiot mostly. Also went into a pretty deep depression thanks to my then boyfriend cheating on me and becoming abusive.

But in August I got out of that situation. I bought my first house and closed on it September 30th. I starting dating someone completely wonderful and not a jack @$$. He makes me feel good about myself and makes me feel loved and wanted. I've worked out here and there since moving, but never stayed with anything and didn't stay with a diet. I managed to gain back all the weight I lost and a few pounds more. Which is frusterating, but I took it off before and can do it again.

    My depression got the better of me as well. But I am getting help and I just realized combined with the medical treatment I receive exercise is a HUGE boost to my mood. Now I just gotta loose the 15 POUNDS I put back on. :|

    You know you've done it before and no shame in saying you're back. I should know - I'm also a returner and I didn't even have a turbulent year, I just let it slide after a holiday.

    Do you think the 6 days a week was unsustainable? Or did it fit your life? I know some friends are all or nothing whereas those who are consistently fit are the ones who don't binge on exercise or food.

    Welcome back though and glad to hear you're in a safer, happier place.
