Weigh-in: Fourteen Months

Blerg! Is one of the best words to describe how I'm feeling about my weight loss.

Shame!

Somewhere along the line I fell off the wagon, I stopped watching what I ate and I stopped going to the gym. Its so hard to admit this out loud because I've felt so inspired and motivated this past year and I worked so hard. I finally got within five pounds of my goal weight, so I thought I could slack a bit and reward myself but dammed if the weight didn't pile right back on. The fact that I gained back so much weight makes me feel ill and flat out ashamed. I know better, I know that my food choices are a lifestyle change and I went right back to that quart of chocolate ice cream without hesitation.

So now that I've realized my mistake, I have to pick up the pieces and double my effort. I hope that writing this down and putting my shameful weight chart up for display, will help me hold myself more accountable because right now I need all the motivation I can get to hop back on that bandwagon and reach my goals.
