Starting over

in Introduce Yourself
Last year was not a good one for my fitness journey. I stopped and started several times hoping I'd get back on track. I had lost 100lbs and last year I lost my mom and spiraled, i jus didnt care about much and therefore I gained and yoyo'ed. I just couldn't pull myself out of the nose dive. I'm not where I started for sure but if I keep on the way I've been going and it won't be long. So, I'm trying once again and I started keto. Today is day 4 and I feel ok, I don't feel out of control. I've always trying to maintain a lower carb diet but I'm nervous about the extra fats and proportions of proteins and fats. Also I use to love going to the gym I would do 6 days a week and made alot of progress with fitness. Since i quit, I've lost alot and I'm dreading walking into that gym the most. Feeling defeated, having everyone ask me where I've been..ugh..like the walk of shame. I know if I'm going to be successful I have to take those steps.. I just hope I can find the strength and the drive.

    Im sorry for your loss. The important thing is that you recognize you can't keep living like this and have already changed your diet. There is no shame. I am sure they'll be happy to see you again. The good part about it is you aren't alone, especially this time of year lots of people return to the gym, maybe take comfort in that nobody is perfect and that sometimes life gets the best of us, we are human.
