You obviously have what it takes to do it since you've done it before.

So I totally relate! In a way I’m glad I gained some because I’m trying to not be all or nothing about it (like I was near the end of my goal weight). Trying to be kinder to myself and deal with emotions this time. I’m coming to terms with just how deep the trauma that led to my eating disorder really is. Thanks for sharing!

My husband is head of finance for a company, so his amount of work hours/stress level has skyrocketed during quarantine. That leaves me to homeschooling & working remotely. Therefore, healthy eating and going to my regular Kelly Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18441764013369650778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-26796574723287037042020-04-19T20:48:38.064-04:002020-04-19T20:48:38.064-04:00You are a very thoughtful, introspective person. ...You are a very thoughtful, introspective person.

There will come a time when they need to know.

I am right there with you; and I am so frustrated that I have gained 25 pounds. I was pretty close to what I would consider my goal weight 10 years ago, and have slowly crept back up, not all the way to 235, which was my highest weight ever, but I am so fearful of going back there.

It was so weird! I got winded right away and it was so much harder than I remember. I'll do it again today, but it sure won't be fast or last very long. I thought I was in good shape for my age...so much for that.

My husband is a professor, and he would teach 1-2 evening classes a week; I would have from when I got home to when I went to bed all to myself, usually trying to "treat myself" with an at-home facial. Now that he's working from home, there is no alone time, and it's a huge transition. I think at least recognizing where some of the stress/Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440185059575772896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-31536633632189458642020-04-19T09:34:23.612-04:002020-04-19T09:34:23.612-04:00Hi Katie!

Before that, I had awful eating habits and never exercised. When I quit, I replaced cigarettes with food. I gained 30lbs in a year. In 2012 I joined WW and lost the weight; I also started running and found I loved it. But, life happened, I lost someone who had been close to Stephanie Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06349741368039622110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-41245294505563620452020-04-19T08:39:05.700-04:002020-04-19T08:39:05.700-04:00I can so relate to your blog comments today.

I'm a stress eater at night and I have never found anything that has been able to replace de-stressing with food. I keep working at it though and love reading your blog as I feel at least I'm not alone in the struggle.

I kept doing that, "hard core diet where you lose 5-8 lbs, then get sick of it, quit and regain all of it or more". I actually have been on track since Covid-a bit before but I've managed it during and I've lost about 10 lbs.
