Regained 25 pounds, but it's not an excuse to keep gaining weight.

Hello Everyone. I wanted to make a post about my weight regain. In March, I was 150.5 pounds, and today I am 175.2 pounds. In about 3 months, I gained 25 pounds. The problem is I knew I was slowly gaining since I weight myself every morning, but I did nothing about it. I became the, "I'll start again tomorrow" loser, or the "I went over 1,200 calories, so I may as well keep eating since my day is ruined."

Since gaining weight, I realized how much harder it is to move! I have become lazier. I had a hard time walking a mile on the beach yesterday. My clothes don't fit me well, and clothes looked nicer on my body when it was smaller. I was more confident, and interacted with people more when I was at a smaller weight. All this is motivation to get to my starting weight again.

Even though I gained weight, I'm not going to hate myself. I realized I made a huge mistake, but I've snapped out of it. I was looking into the mirror and realized just how big I looked. I previously hadn't noticed how much bigger my arms, tummy, and hips were even though I was gaining weight (I'm 5'5, so my weight gain is very noticeable). I do admit, it's embarrassing to see friends and family when I'm a lot bigger, but oh well. I know there's two possible scenarios: If I don't take care of myself, I will keep gaining weight or I can take a few months to get back to my starting weight.

So here's to starting over and calorie counting.
