In Need of Major Redirect

I made the ultimate mistake... I let other "stuff" get in the way of health.  Work has me so stressed out that I haven't been making it to the gym and I'm slipping into my old pattern of eating (not enough protein, skipping breakfast).  I know what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it.  So, I'm starting by  revisiting this site for motivation and support.  I really want to start my weight loss again.  My friends insist that they are still seeing my body change but I think they're just being nice.  I logged my weight again and I'm up about a pound since my last update in July.  I guess that's not enough to panic over.  I just hate seeing the scale going in the wrong direction.  

I'm getting married August 2, 2014 so I've made that my inspiration.  

I'd love to have some advice about getting back on track from people who have been there.

I think the best way is to just go back to what you know you are supposed to be doing.  You don't need to panic and you don't need to do anything drastic like a liquid diet.  Sometimes it helps me to write things down.  Helps me focus or something.  And then I have it right there in black and white, what I'm going to do.

HEY!!

I live very close to you :-)  I had my surgery at Duke.  You?

You have lost a lot -- don't give up.  

When was your surgery?

I had my surgery in Durham on June 7, 2012. Are you in Durham?

Best wishes and keep posting, we look forward to your next update!

I have a protein drink for breakfast. I drink it on the way to work. It only takes a minute to make, and no extra time to consume.
