I joined SparkPeople in '06, after reaching my highest weight ever (at that time). I felt disgusted with myself and couldn't handle the thought of living my life as an inactive, overweight, and depressed person. I had gained 40 lbs in a year (not to mention that I was overweight to begin with).
After losing 45 lbs and keeping it off for about 5 years, I slowly gained 25 lbs back over the past year, and then quickly gained another 20 in just 3 months! Mostly from a busy lifestyle - ...
I joined SparkPeople in '06, after reaching my highest weight ever (at that time). I felt disgusted with myself and couldn't handle the thought of living my life as an inactive, overweight, and depressed person. I had gained 40 lbs in a year (not to mention that I was overweight to begin with).
After losing 45 lbs and keeping it off for about 5 years, I slowly gained 25 lbs back over the past year, and then quickly gained another 20 in just 3 months! Mostly from a busy lifestyle - only being able to sleep for 2-6 hours a night, not being able to exercise as much as I like to, and eating a lot of calorie-dense, high carb foods. I then had an invasive surgery and couldn't exercise at all for 2 months (not to mention likely depression from the unplanned surgery, recovery, and scarring) and gained 10 more lbs.
I'm recommitting to living a healthy lifestyle - one that focuses on diet and mindset as much as exercise (aka the stuff I don't like/ is hard as well as the fun stuff!:)
