Coming back before it is all back

[Fat Cat Mama]

Hi everybody! I am back after 3 years and 50 regained pounds. The first time I was here, I lost 70 lbs and got down to a size 10. I will be there again in 2007! I know that it isn't an excuse but I began my old way of eating after my grandmother died in 2003. It began as depression eating for her, then depression eating because I was eating, then depression eating because I was gaining weight, then I just didn't care anymore. I have fibromyalgia and when I was eating the Atkins way, I didn't hurt and slept at night. I want that back. I also want my hubby to tell me I am sexy again. I want to feel sexy again. Anyway, I am here for the long run, I will do this! I will be to my goal before my anniversary, 9/28. I am determined!

Hi Denise,
I did the same thing..... almost loosing 55 lbs then stopping (why???) and regaining. I too got back on track before all 55 came back. Now I am back on track and feelin great.
I wish you the best on your repeated journey.

Denise, at least you caught yourself when you did and won't have to relose 20 of those lbs! I waited until I gained it all back + 20 lbs! What was I thinking! This is a great group of people on SATC. Welcome!

Re: Coming back before it is all back

Not sure which time this is for me. But I have never got down to my goal weight any of the times. Not to say that I would not be able to, I just got lazy and careless some where along the way. Sad but true. I am definitely wanting to stick this go round. I do notice that the weight is not wanting to come off as good this time around. I have probably totally confused my body. For me my weightloss goals are for my health. Sure I want to look good and feel sexy, who doesn't. But I really don't want to have to subject myself or family to the results of a lifetime of carefree eating. I am really trying to be careful and very consious of all hidden carbs and such. I do have a great support system in place as my whole family is eating this way. Glad to be back in control and on my way back down.
