TL;DR I've been dealing with some emotional stuff this past month, gained some weight back from over-eating, not exercising, and my monthly cycle. But I'm coming out of the grief and feeling myself get back in control. I just wanted to share for anybody who may handle things the same way I do.
On September 2nd, I weighed in at my lowest yet: 211.2. That same day, we got a call that my husband's grandmother passed away. This woman was a fantastic grandmother to my husband, my children, and me, but I also would spend time learning things that she hadn't shared with her family. I valued her friendship, but have put my grief on the back burner to support my husband. I have been handling her death much like I have handled every other stressful situation that has gotten me to being morbidly obese: I found comfort in food.
When we got back home, I was able to bake for the first time in months (I'd been without a kitchen for months prior) and because of finding comfort in food, I've been eating more sweets than I should.
And now... I'm on day 4 of an incredibly painful and heavy cycle. Today I weighed in at 217 and will likely be a little heavier tomorrow....
BUT
I'm not 251.8 pounds again. I've lost over 30 pounds and this hiccup doesn't take away from that. Sure, I could be that much closer to my end goal, but sometimes life happens and forces you just to ride the wave. You can either lose sight of your goal because of that or refocus and come back with more determination to reach your goal.
