Going to get back on track... finally ...i hope

2017...  Its going to be better than 2016. First baby steps were today- I came home from the grocery store this afternoon without #1 buying pop for work this week #2 buying a candy bar at the checkout lane. 

A little background- after losing 200 lbs 10 years ago, I have put 85 of it back on.  The emotional eating from a horrible divorce and then a head injury from a car accident has taken its toll.  Thankfully, I am able to work and function almost normally, I am trying to get used to the disabilities I now have and accept them.  Therapy is my priority.  My therapist is amazing.  I am a priority once again.  I had gastric bypass roux & y in 2004 for myself and to be healthy for my family.  Once again I am on the track of getting myself healthy for me and my daughter.  After the accident friends' true colors came out.   2 friends have stayed by my side. The others have moved on.  I am able to let go and move on without chasing after them.

The treadmill is oiled and working good.  My cordless headphone are connected to the tv so I can watch my favorite bands play while i slowly walk.  I lost the weight before, I've got to be able to do it again. Right? 

Happy New Year.

CONGRATULATIONS for taking control back over your life!!! You have the perfect mind set for this and like you said you did it in the past there is no reason you wouldn't be able to do it again!! While it may not be as easy as when we lost during our 'honeymoon phase', it is definitely doable!!! Keep track, stay accountable and post/visit often for support!! We have all been through the same things and are here for the same reason. It is a nice thing to know this is a 'safe' place to come where everyone understands how you feel. I wish you and the rest of us the best of luck in this great new year!!! Hope to hear from you often.

That's a great idea.  Watching favorite bands on the tv while walking.  I too have gained my weight back in 9 years.  I have had both of my hips replaced within the past 12 months and need to start moving again.
