Happy Surgiversary!! 4 years
My only question: if you could start your journey all over again, would you do anything different? Trying to figure out how to maximize my success and avoid the potholes.
You rock!
5'5" Goal reached, but fighting regain. Back to Basics.

Current size: 12, L
I have gone back and forth about my regain last year LOOKING for "what went wrong" and the only thing is that I put PRESSURE on myself. I got hypnotized by the next number on the scale and lost track of where my original goal was. Which at the time for 200lbs. But then I kept seeing Onederland and thought well maybe I should be there. Then I got there, so then it was hey let's go lower and then BAM sabotage stepped in and took it ALL away. Then after that I was battling with myself to get back to Onederland and it seemed the more I battled the more I stayed the same.
I started that old habit of I had to be X weight by this date and that date, only to reach the date and NOT be there and start to feel bad about my fabulous self and lost track of ALL that I had accomplished.
Now I'm just taking it one day at a time and loving my life TODAY...something that I truly had forgotten the past year. I will continue to focus on what I eat, but I won't be in "diet" mode or must see X on scale by mode anymore.
