3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

The last time I visisted this site was 10/31/09. I had lost about 30 pounds last time I was here. Now I have gained a majority of that back. So here I am again trying to reverse this and find what I need to keep it off again.

Yesterday was my day 1. It went well. I am on vacation from work so I can focus on myself for the week. The day was a semi success. I ended up emotional eating in the afternoon. I think that will be my biggest struggle. Does anyone have any direction to point me in when it comes to emotional eating?

Today I am sore from my workout yesterday. I did stuff I started with in 2009 and I was disgusted on how hard it was again. I can't wait to be strong again. I will probably be a little more low key today and just go for a long walk.

I have a goal to be in a size 12 jeans. I am not sure what weight that will be but currently I wear size 18, which is tight, and weigh 196 lbs. I am guessing my goal weight will be 165. My other goal is to find ways to keep it off and stop being an emotional eater. Right now I am struggling in my life with stress from work and other things. I hope that becoming stronger and being an advocate for myself will help me become stronger in these other areas of my life. I also would like to strive to run some 5ks next year. Jogging is one of my favorite things once I am strong enough to do it again.

I am also a huge horse and dog lover so I hope to find others here who also have horses and dogs and are alos going thru this same journey.
