I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I haven't been on the forum since April. I fell off the wagon big time, and only now have kicked myself to take a good hard look at the damage I have done over the past months.
I'm not even sure why I have been so poor with my choices over the last few months. Life does have its ups and downs but everyone deals with that. Nothing majorly troublesome has happened to me either. I just seem to handle stress with food, and happiness with food...
The only big change I can think of is returning to work after maternity in May. But I like my job, and I have been enjoying being back (despite workplace dramas...another story), although it has been a challenge adjusting to a new routine.
Anyway enough moaning. On to strategy. Before I was intermittent fasting (Skipping dinner) and walking 15-30 mins a day. My day is 5 times busier now as I need to get all my chores done first thing in the morning, and sometimes I work late. 2 kids in tow as well plus usual evening routine. I dread the walk to school now especially in the heat, so I need to find something that can work for me around this busier life. It might take some trial and error but I need to do something. I have been feeling so unhappy with my appearance lately that I nearly broke down yesterday. My stomach seems to have increased in size the most, none of my clothes look flattering, and I just don't feel pretty.
I hope I can stay on the wagon this time, I really do.
Thanks again.
