Default Because I Missed You All So Much...
I put all my weight back on. See how much I care about all of you?

Well I was a frequent poster about eighteen months ago and lost about 90 pounds. I felt great, looked great, husband complimenting me like crazy, and then it all fell apart. We took a three week vacation and I knew when I got back that I'd gained at least 10 pounds. So I didn't weigh myself because I really didn't want to see the proof in black and white, and then I gained some more and was even more afraid to weigh myself, and well you know what happened then. I woke up five weeks ago at my highest weight ever and not sure how I could be such an idiot.

So I'm back; I've been reading posts for a few weeks and getting back into the swing of things. I'm down 25 pounds and starting to feel a bit more like a human being.

As I look back at what I've done wrong, with the obvious nod to bags of hershey's kisses, I see that I've always lost weight because of an upcoming event. Got to be thinner by Christmas, have to lose weight for the vacation trip, need to be thinner for a friends wedding, etc. I've never just lost weight because feeling healthier is a better way to live. I deserve to shave my legs without having to hold my breath, I shouldn't have to be embarrassed to use the pool in my own backyard.

Frankly, I feel better just having written this all down. I look forward to being as supportive as I can for all of you and thanks in advance for your support and help.

Welcome back Robin! I'm new, but I can relate. I lost almost 100lbs and slowly started gaining a bunch of it back. I knew what do to and just stopped doing it. Coming here has helped SO much. I look forward to 'seeing' you around!

From one Robin to another - Welcome back. It's nice to "meet" you. I'm glad you've found your way back here. I think that's a HUGE step. I really look forward to knowing you better and hearing about your progress. You CAN do this and we're all right here behind you. Robin

Welcome back~even though I'm new here myself!

I've been there too...and really the only thing you can do is move forward. I had to laugh when you mentioned shaving your legs. I never realized I did that until today...when I didn't.

Let's go!
