Sorry, that I have not been around for awhile. I figured it was time for an update and a confession. After months of losing, I started inching back up weight wise. I started getting a little sloppy about things and my appetite returned and caught up with me. I stepped on the scale last week to find that I had gained several pounds and was now 3 lbs over my goal weight.

I am never going back to where I was before, so this week I went back to the beginning stages (most stringent part) of my diet and dropped 4 lbs. immediately. I will stay at this level for 9 more days and then ease back into the maintenance routine. The good news is tht I know what caused it, so I also know how to control it so that it doesn't control me.
