Hi All! 
It has been quite a while since I have last posted. I started my first diary in 2009 and I was pretty sucessful during that time with my weight loss and truly appreciated and enjoyed the support I recieved on this website. A little bit about myself...I am currently 27, turning 28 in January, i am 5'1, I am single, live alone and I work part time at a hospital as a clerk. I was never an overweight person growing up, I never even thought about my weight until I was maybe 19 or 20. At my highest weight (around age 22) I was 189lbs and and my lowest I was 122lbs. I am now in the low 140's I believe but have been too afraid of the scale to confirm any number.
I've been going through a two year rough patch that feels like it is never going to end and this rough patch has been my number one reason for the weight i have gained since I weighed 122lbs. In November of 2011 I was fired from my full time job out of the blue and it turned my entire life upside down. I didnt know what to do with myself and I compltely stopped caring about my healthy eating habits and working out was the furthest thing from my mind. I became deeply depressed. It took my over a year to find a job and even then its only part time. During that time I met a wonderful man, fell deeply in love and sadly a year later that came to an end as well. I was recently starting to feel a little better and wanted to get back into a full workout routine, i started and went strong for a month then bad luck came knocking once again and in early september of this year I got into a horrible car accident and was rear-ended by a streetcar, for those of you who dont know what that is, picture a bigger longer heavier version of a bus on tracks. I was lucky to only come out of the accident with a badly injured right shoulder, back and neck pain and post tramatic stress disorder. I now have to do physio twice a week for about a year, i'm awaiting my MRI and my appointment with an orthopedic surgeon. I was off work for a month without pay and now i'm back working two times a week 6 hours a day...All that to say that it added to my stress eating and any physical activities went out the window. Now that I've had a little rest and physio has helped mostly ease some of the back pain I feel ready to start eating better and trying some mild workouts to make sure I don't head into a new year with the same bad habbits. I felt so amazing and proud of myself when I was doing well and losing weight and I'm ready to feel that again. I would love to ring in the new year with some accomplishments and something to feel good and happy about. I don't have internet at home so I will update twice a week while I'm at work. Time to confront the scale....
I'm Ready!!! Wish Me Luck!!!
