One nice thing about gaining 20 pounds in three months that I can get back into a routine and lose it fairly quickly. You have to overcome the depression of gaining and not getting on the scale, to moving forward and going back to your better habits.

Here is the strange part.  I feel so much better when I am not drinking ETOH and eating processed food. I truly think that if I lived by myself I would never be tempted again to eat poorly  and drink ETOH.

But being happily married for 37 years to a guy who loves wine and gin, sometimes I have to give in. Luckily, he supports me and knows that if I don't drink for a few months, I will fall back into it. LOL

I am blessed to be able to work out, eat healthy food, and have support.  I am blessed to be able to lose the weight and feel better about myself. I have ten more pounds to go before I am back to truly losing weight.  I CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!
