Nojo on the YoYo
Hello peeps
If you've been here since 2009, you may remember me, I was here all the fricken time, all the live long day, all day, and all of the night... and many many other varieties of 'all the time' you can possibly come up with.
I have had, what can only be described as, a pretty rough ride since the end of 2009, being made redundant, finding a new job which I hated and finding myself stuck with a hefty tax bill, plus lodging in one room in Liverpool made for a very depressed me indeed!
I have been, and am still, on medication, and have put on around 60lbs of the lbs I managed to lose. In short, I was 13 stone something, and now I am 18 stone something. And SOMETHING needs to be done.
What used to keep me motivated was all the friendly people on here, the comments, the sharing, the chat, the gossip, the gasps of delight when a new cereal bar or yogurt would come out (anyone tried the new Apple and Mango fat free Onken, by the way?) and the snorts of derision when they'd take away our free Smash or sausages and change them for something inferior and higher in syns.
That, and my blog. I looooooved my blog. I wrote it religiously, scouring the internet for stories on food, diet, fads, products and promotions. I feel like I've lost my way - a lot - but I want to come back.
I've made a lot of false starts over the past year - and I'm sure it's these false starts that have led to me putting on as much weight as I have, three days of dieting followed by four of eating extra large amounts of rubbish is surely the sure-fire way to let yourself down and make your dress size go up...
I'd love for anyone who's been through this to post here and tell me how it finally clicked for you, how coming back works in the end and how there *is* a happily ever after for me... if I can find the determination back to embrace it properly!
Thanks for your time... :break_diet:
