I weighed myself at the end of 2013, and I was actually 1.8 lbs up, but I consider that a holiday fluctuation and not a cause for alarm. I started 2014 on a confident note, feeling that I would be able to lose the final poundage I want to lose. However, the last 2 weeks have been a cause for alarm. We had some weather related damage to our home which has created chaos for the last 2 weeks. In spite of 3 years of establishing good habits, I fell apart. I have consumed unbelievable amounts of food and beverages, and I quit regular exercise.
Nothing of significance was lost. No one was hurt. Repairs can be done without moving out. I think it was just the accumulation of big life events that sent me over the edge.

Today I knew I needed to recommit to No S and exercise and get back on track. This forum has helped me to get back on track when I have faltered in the past. It makes me accountable.
