BREAK-UP BLUES.....Gaining the weight back

[hydroflame]

I am so disappointed in what have happened to me the past year. I can't believe that I let a break up let myself go. I gained a lot of weight back, and i am here today because I want to break this habit again before I revert back to my old self again. Specially with the holiday season coming around, It is gonna be hard, but I can't keep saying that I would start tomorrow over and over again. I just want to scream!!!!!!!

I am back on this board because I remembered the board and its members helping with the weight loss the first time around. So, Thank you so much for the support guys. And now I am back hoping to do it all over again.....and for the last time stick with it!!!!

Welcome back!

If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that you can't do something unless your head is in the game (well, I can't at least). It sounds as though you're ready to play! You know what to do, since you've done it before, so do it. You're still young, and because you're a guy the weight should come off quite fast.

Chin up! You're gonna do it!

On Halloween in 1998, I weighed in at 215 pounds (after losing 60, with the help of a ephedra). I lost my father in 1999 and, after that it was a slow, steady road up. 230 lbs. in mid-99, 245 lbs. about a year later, 260 lbs. a year after that, and 300 not too long ago.

Weight loss and gain for people like us will always be a struggle. We have two choices - fight the fight and face the fact that there are many battles in this war; some w will win some and we will lose some. The second choice is just to keep lying to ourselves by saying: "this is just the way I am so why fight it?" Breakups, job losses, financial problems, losing family members - these are all things that everyone will have to face throughout the journey that is this life. Stay and fight; eventually you will emerge victorious.
