What happens if you eat cookies and drink diet coke? REGAIN PICS
Just in case you missed my many posts, I had a 29lb regain between years 2 and 3. Why? because I was eating cookies and washing them down with diet coke. All the things you shouldn't do. I was also diagnosed with severe anemia Ferritin was a 3, along with low thyroid. I would love to blame the weight gain on the thyroid, but let's be real...I had stopped tracking my food, stopped drinking protein shakes because I didn't think they were "worth the money" and just basically trying to live as a "normie' when the truth is I am still an emotional, compulsive eater.
I decided last October when I tipped the scales at 170...ouch, that I better get serious about my tool. I started by buying the protein powder and cutting out the M&Ms (they go down so easy, I was eating 2-3 packs a day), eating dense proteins and tracking.
Then I decided that where I lived was not healthy for me and that I had no healthy friends with healthy habits and that I would need to change my environment. So in January, we moved to a new town that is famous for its healthy population. NOT ONE SINGE OBESE PERSON in the whole town, and I am not kidding. I wanted some of what they were having!
So for the last 6 months I have been working out, eating clean most of the time, doing yoga and working on my head. I am happy to announce that I have made it back to my original goal of 145!
I want to give anyone hope that is fighting a regain, that you can lose it, but it will be ALOT of hard work, no honeymoon, kinda like a marriage.
So here goes, this is me, should've slapped on some makeup, but I am sure you are looking at my arms anyway...hahahaha
This is the first time I hit goal!
This is during my regain, about 160
And here I am this week, WOO HOO!!

Jenn,
I think the mechanics work the same no matter how far out you are. If you eat dense protein and track your food, it is not too hard to maintain. I still have restriction. I had a 36F, so I don't believe sleeve size was my "problem"
The problem for me was that I had not worked on my emotional eating problems and then I hit a rough patch and turned to food for comfort, instead of something healthier.

You go girl! Way to show you can get back to goal by going back to basics!
Low iron makes low thyroid worse. They go hand in hand. While they may not have been the cause, they probably didn't help!
