You've done this once and I know (and everyone here knows) that you can do it again. Sometimes life gets in the way. House hunting is stressful, moving is stressful and sometimes old eating habits raise their ugly heads and bite us in the backside during these times. It might be because fast food is easier than cooking on some nights (especially when moving!). Having only one car and a gym X miles away is tough. I hate walking to my gym even though it's less than a mile away because by the time I walk there and back, that's a workout! I don't want to run for another 25 or 30 minutes or lift weights on top of that!
I think most of us here know how you feel! I was doing really well until May last year and it all went downhill until October/November. I stopped eating well and exercising. I stopped portion control and counting calories for no other reason than I was too busy working and going to school. Then I turned 30 and the world changed. It took another 2 months to get my butt into gear.
You have done this once; it doesn't matter how you did it, only the fact that you did it. You can do it again. It takes a little self-discipline and willpower, but you can do it.
