Oh my Gosh! You are a total inspiration, 71 pounds is a huge deal! I can understand that you are upset with the five pound gain. I read your profile and It kind of reminded me of myself. I was 251 pounds two years ago. I was down to 175, but gained two pounds over the wknd after a 40th celebration for my girlfriend. I was upset too! But there is a big difference between the new me and the old me. I accepted the gain, and woke up the next morning working hard and not allowing the out of control behaviour take over. Before I would probably have said, I will start next week, but I would never actually start! It is different now for me as I am sure it is for You. We have taken control and we know what we have to do. So chin up yogamama, and take control and don't give up! You didn't give up while you were on the hard road of taking off 71 pounds So don't give up now when you are so close to your goal! I am still on my weight loss journey, and I am not giving up! I hope you decide to stay on and continue to be and inspiration to other people that are struggling with their weight!
