new...ish!
 

23 F 5foot7

not a new member but i havent been using fitday in about a year or so.
since then ive gained a lot of my weight back. When i started i was 200lbs then got down to 115bs.
since then ive gained 32lbs which i can imagine doesnt sound like much. it isnt healthy to gain weight the way i have been.

a lot of my weight gain is associated with my career as a cook in a fine dining restaurant & my alcohol consumption. i LOVE food. all of it. how can you resist something as lovely as foie gras or deep fried white fiish? the high stress work i do makes me tired and hungry when i get home. those two things are dangerous.
i just want to feel good again the way i did when i was eating right. im struggling.

how can one go from very fit to super lazy so easily? is stress a legit excuse? is anything?:(

Welcome back. You lost the weight once, I'm sure you can do it again.
It must be hard trying to watch what you eat when you work around food.

I know for me once I get down to my target weight I will have to remain on Fitday to maintain it otherwise I will gain it back.
