Man, it is tough. Sometimes it is really tough. Especially if food is your "comfort" or first go to when stressed or upset or disappointed, it is so easy to get derailed.

Don't beat yourself up over it, many of us have done similar things.. it is super encouraging when you see good results and then post about them and get kudos.. but when you get the bad results, you want to just find a hole to hide in and just hope things turn around.

I personally think that you have done a great job so far, and very few of us had an easy time getting off the weight and keeping it off without any bumps in the road. Good job on getting the ship back on course, and remember we're your friends here even when you have a few weeks of poor eating habits.
