I'm not new to 3FC, but I just wanted to say hello as it's been quite a long time since I last posted (over a year, I think!). I've just begun to start tracking my food again and I'd like to get back to participating in this forum because it really helped me last time.
Since moving in with my boyfriend about a year ago, I've just not thought about my diet and lifestyle very much, until recently. I logged into my account here last night, as well as looking at an old FitDay account, and I see that I've put on about a stone, which does make me feel a little depressed, knowing how hard I worked to lose every pound, and also how close I was getting to my overall goal. Also, I know it's not the end of the world, but my BMI moved up again, out of the "healthy" range and back into the "overweight" range, and whilst I don't really care about this too much, it's just a milestone I had met that I was happy about before.
I've been feeling a little uncomfortable with my weight for a while now, I didn't own scales for much of the past year, so had that awkward uncomfortable feeling of "I'm pretty sure I'm getting fatter, but if I don't weigh myself then I can just pretend it isn't happening". But now I'd really like to address it as I feel so much happier, confident, and more in control when I'm respecting my body more and making healthy food choices.
Having said all that negative stuff, I do take some comfort in the fact that when I've not thought about my diet at all, and not held back in the slightest with eating, I've "only" put on a stone in about a year, and I haven't started on really old habits like binge eating in secret. It makes me feel a little more confident about the future, and thinking that when it comes to reaching my goal weight, I don't think any really awful unhealthy habits will immediately spring back when I'm not thinking about weight loss! I want to try and use that confidence and happiness in myself to motivate me on this last push to reach my goal weight!
So I'm back again, having re-adjusted my stats back up to what they currently are, and I'm hoping this will be third time lucky (this being the third time I've re-started my weight loss since I was 224lbs!). Enough waffling from me for now, I really look forward to taking part again!
Well you know the support you will find here so I wish you great luck and keep us posted
