Welcome Back!

I am welcoming you back to me being back on the weight watcher wagon.  (haha)

Well it has been a couple months, well more like almost 3, but I am not really counting exact ;)  Needless to say it has been a seriously difficult few months.  In March I had a MASSIVE arthritis flare up in my lower back that caused me to use a cane a few times, without it, I couldn't have made it down a hallway.  As that was getting better, I suffered from Influenza A and spiked a 104* fever, ya that is no fun, don't do it!  Once both of those things seemed to be cleared up and I thought I was good to go, I got the head cold of the century.  NOW, however, with the exception of being freaking exhausted today, I feel pretty good!

Well to the nitty gritty, during all this I wasn't paying attention to points or even very close to portion control.  I was too stressed to care.  And I am a stress eater, of course I am also an emotional eater, and any other kind of eater you can imagine, I even *gasp* eat when I am hungry.  SO during all this I only gained back 7 lbs, I am now 245.  I wasn't ecstatic about having gained but I was thrilled I was still well below 250.

Of course I now have new motivation again.  My sister is getting married in May of 2013.  I am currently wearing a size 20/22 and my goal is to be in a 16/18, totally doable if I buckle down, and work hard. So I could use some good support over the next 10 months, I better be at my goal by then so the dress will have a chance to be tailored to fit correctly. So you can look forward to more blog posts again, thanks for taking the time to read.
