I just wanted to say that I am also struggling with about a 13 pound re-gain. I lost 70 pounds in 15 months and reached my goal weight in September of 2010. I kept it all off for a couple of years, but in the past year or so, I have gained 11-13 pounds that I can't shake. And yes, it's amazing how Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07340535379439134062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-31239423726577623432014-03-25T18:47:28.260-04:002014-03-25T18:47:28.260-04:00I totally agree with you, Abby.

When my grandmother, whom I was extremely close to for the first 23 years of my life, had a massive heart attack and died in the hospital, I did not go see her on the last two days of her life. I saw her last 3 days before she died and the nurse had to pull me aside to calm me down because I was so upset.

Just take it a step at a time. For some reason that makes me think of recovering addicts. They always say they have to take it one day, sometimes one moment, at a time to stay clean and on track. It really is true with any bad habit.
