I had lost 70 pounds and in the years since, I had gained it all back. I've now lost 21 of that. It is frustrating when you feel like "well, I've been on this place on the scale before!!" I am learning the hard way that you have to treat yourself like an addict and therefore, can never, never let your guard down. I seemed…
