Gaining weight back...scared to death!
I have learned through the last 4 years that you have to hold yourself accountable!!! You know exactally what you are doing to sabatosh yourself, and I know it is a hard pill to swallow, but until you face the facts you will not be able to get the weight back of and keep it off.
Last year, I have put on 15lbs pretty quick and had on blinder. Until I stopped and looked at my food intake and my lack of exercise, I was on a down hill spiral. I realized the Michelob Ultra every night while preparing dinner wasn't helping either lol.
I have since taken the 15 lbs off and have gotten my butt back into the gym.
I recomend putting a photo of the old you before surgery up on your bathroom mirror along with a photo of yourself at your smallest, and take a picture of yourself now!! We often don't see our real image until we see a photo of ourselfs.
I wish you luck and be strong to get back to the basics!!
