Default Restart.... But committed yet again.....

It's been a long time since I've been on the boards, but I'm back because it's part of my accountability process. I love IP & was hooked the minute I started in July 2011. I was at my goal quicker than I imagined & was loving it.
I slid a little over the holidays last winter but jumped right back in at the of January.
This summer my mom was diagnosed with cancer & let's just say I always knew I was an emotional eater but this time it was very transparent, I wasn't hiding it at all & you name it, if it was junk food, I was consuming it!

Well, I'm still dealing with all the ups & downs with my mom, but I have got to get back on track! I Hate the way I feel & I want to be able to wear the awesome jeans I bought last year yet again. I need to feel that little high you get on WI day when the scale has gone down....

So here I am, Day 2 & I'm back.

Very Sorry about your mom. That is sad to hear and difficult to deal with.

There are quite a few of us "rebooting" on two different threads....one is the maintainers thread and the other one is "reached goal....been in maintenance....need a small reboot" come over and join us all.

Hi Sunshine1986, I am in nearly the exact same position as you! I started IP October 2012 and lost 50 pounds (not to my goal weight, but I was happy). I said good-bye to my coach as my husband relocated to Colorado and I maintained by taking up jogging/gym and low carb eating for nearly a year. After pregnancy and a miscarriage, I fell right back into my comfort eating. I would stop at the store on my way to work and pick up cookies and candy and snack all day long while consuming endless cups of flavored coffee. I felt AWFUL. My head was fuzzy, I was aching and sore and not sleeping well. I am so grateful to be back on IP. I know exactly how you feel! Good luck to both of us!!
