    Focus on eating less, not on motivation and weightloss. Motivation is fleeting, and you lose/maintain weight when you eat less.

    Think about what made you create a new MFP account. What is that one thing/ reason that gave you the spur back to actually want to get started again? What is that one reason why you posted this question on the community board; Give yourself an honest answer and focus on that one thing to kick start this journey.

    It’s simple but there’s definitely going to be bumps on the road. It’s a lifestyle to be adopted for the long-term ride. Good luck 💪🏼

    Well I am glad to see you back on here! I was in the same situation - I was miserable, and felt utterly hopeless. Bless my husband for lighting a fire under my @$$, because finally one day it just clicked, and it has been sticking around. I worry a lot I will lose it, and go back to my old ways (I have done it in the past), but I am trying to stay positive. I feel great, and am starting to see a sliver of happiness again.

    I have faith it will happen for you as well. Baby steps! If you need to, ease into it, just don't give up. You are so very worth it. :)
