I think I'm allowed to vent/celebrate here?
I'm sort of new to the group and haven't posted much here, but I have been reading all of the new threads and I think they're incredibly helpful in keeping me motivated and on track (mostly) even on the worst of days!
The past week or so have been really rough. I'm bipolar (and unmedicated, although I may just give in and change that soon) and the past week was a horrendous cycle of depression, insomnia, complete lack of motivation to go to the gym, and binge eating/overeating. Something about my emotions being out of control and unstable drags my eating habits down with it. And I had been doing so well previously!
But as to the NSV. Despite how atrociously I went off track for (over) a week, I'm still under 270, which is a feat I don't think I've ever accomplished before. I only set myself back one pound for the whole week. I think I owe most of my near-maintenance to this forum, so I thought I'd just say how appreciative I am! I'm learning to ignore cravings/tune them out by distracting myself with this website. It has become my new facebook!
So thanks to all of you who post inspiring things and discuss your own situations. Even though I (previously) hadn't commented much, it was definitely helping me along more than I realized!
