Hi everyone! I don't know if anyone will remember me but I was on the board from May-July of this year. I had lost 32 pounds through Weight Watchers and wanted to train for a 5 mile run with my hubby. Well, DH is still in Afghanistan and ever since I spent 2 vacation weeks with him in July I just have NOT stuck to WW. I don't go anymore and I also stopped exercising.
I am very angry with myself for allowing this to happen but I just weighed myself and I gained 16 pounds (or half my loss) back. I can not be surprised as I've been eating fast food EVERY SINGLE day. I'm ashamed that I've decided not to care.
So in an effort to take the control back I am here again. By staying away I felt that I didn't have to face the truth and I am just glad that I am taking the right path once again.
I look forward to giving and receiving the great support that I know this board provides.
Thanks for listening!
Melissa





Melissa, you're back!
Hey Misha!! Welcome back to you too, lol. You are right that we should be proud of ourselves for re-committing but yeah it is sooo disapointing to think of gaining back the weight and all the work we've done to lose it.
As for Disney we are going to Disney World in Florida. I haven't booked the trip YET but I intend to either tomorrow or Monday. I did go to DisneyWorld with my in-laws over Labor Day and it was so weird without Mark. He was so upset about it too since he's in Afghanistan while we were having fun. It was right then and there that I decided we would go as soon as he got back. He's been working every single day for 8 months and needs a vacation.
Oh and a GREAT thing was that I fit in EVERY SINGLE ride at Disney. I was worried but found a website thread for "larger people" (lol) and everyone reassured me that I'd fit. I had the time of my life on the rides. It had been over 14 years since I had been on rides and it was a rush. I almost cried.
I will continue on with WW. I can't go this week because I have school at night but the week after I can.
I look forward to chatting with you again ;-)
That is sooooo cool,
Melissa is back YAY!!! I was wondering where you went.. don't you disappear on us again like that OK?
I am glad you had a wonderful time at Disney.. I haven't been to an amusement park in AGES!! hmmm... That looks like a good reward for my next mini-goal LOL.
I'm so happy you're back and re-committed. What really matters is that you didn't throw in the towel and you're trying again.. and I bet once you get on program the first week you'll lose some trapped water weight and show a good loss.
