Shameless self promotion
Tuesday morning. I've been nominated for an award. The KaysBargains Blogette Award recognizes the best female-oriented blog/journal, and the voting runs through June 25th. Only one vote per person so, if you think my site is worthy, I'd be honored to have your vote.
Now that I've got that out of the way, I think I shall go and take a walk. It's an ugly admission, but I've sunk into a mini depression of late and have been eating terribly plus ignoring the DIFD Challenge. I feel horrible - both emotionally and physically - and am so very ready for a change. I can't believe I'm going to leave on this business trip in this kind of shape. Perhaps, if I'm feeling very brave after my walk (before breakfast), I'll step on the scales and see just how bad things have become. I know I'm up over 212 because that's where I was last week and I've eaten a lot since then. You know, it's really discouraging because I was down to 200.8 the morning I left for New Orleans in March. Two months and I've put on at least 12 pounds - pathetic.

I am right there with you on the mini-depression. I know I'm at a crossroads and I can continue the losing battle, or actually make a decision to take an active role in my road to becoming healthy.
A local church had the following saying on their sign last week -- "You can't slide uphill." As long as you are working toward your goal, even if it's just resting before moving on, you aren't backsliding. Yes, a 12 pound gain isn't what you were looking for, but if you are like me, self-sabatoge is one of the things we do best. Look at this period straight in the eye, give it the bird and move forward.
It is today you need to be concerned about. Work today to the best you can.
Don't sweat the small mistakes. Gaining back weight isn't fun, but I'm sure overall you are healthier now than you were last time. I hope a little exercise eases your mood, and wish you continued success.
We'll get there...
*hugs* You hang in there sweetie!
You have my vote!

I'm sorry you felt discouraged. Happens to us all, but still a bummer.
I see a comment above me re: "63 days". I read her. Gripping. (Besides no one should ever ever ever have to endure what she survived!)
Take care
