416 days, Myfitnesspal streak broken and struggling to stay on track

For the past few months, I have been having a difficult time sticking to my health and fitness goal. I have been cycling through periods of steadfast motivation to stay on track and long stretches of wanting to binge on everything in sight. I have weighed myself twice in almost three months and my pants are tighter than they were a couple of months ago. This is the longest stretch of time in a particular pant size, I usually go down a pant size every month and a half; not this time.
Despite all of these roadblocks though, I have not lost hope. I am still fighting and wading. I have not given up hope. I am struggling, but if I am consistent in trying to make the right choices, eventually I will break out of my rut. The fact that I am being honest and accountable and trying to stick to my healthy choices is already a big deal. Usually I would have given up by now, but I refuse to undo over a year of hard work, hours spent at the gym and time spent eating better and being better to myself in general. I am worth time, I will not roll over and give up because I deserve the best me there is. I hope that with time and patience I will be able to continually do what I need to do to be a healthier version of me. I can do this, I will do this, I am doing this.

Progress-396 days and counting

I ran my first 5K yesterday and I completed it in 44:52. To say that I am proud will be the understatement of the century. I am still in disbelief, especially since I barely trained for it. It is not that I didn't train at all, but I did not put in the required time and effort the experts would recommend. Sill I was able to complete the race and do it in under 45 minutes. Now I am more than exited to train for another 5K and to continue to stay on track with my healthy lifestyle. There are so many firsts for me with this journey that I look forward to even more of it. Also, having my wifey in my corner helps a great deal. I also noticed that I am not as angry as I used to be, granted my promotion and new job has something to do with it, but I also want to believe that having other things beside my work to focus on is helping. I also noticed that I am gradually breaking out of my habit to wallow too long in my stress filled life. I realized that I am a stress eater, usually I would just eat and eat and when I finally noticed that I was gaining back the weight I would give up and just continue to eat. This time, I am catching myself and breaking out of my funk. Hopefully I will keep this up and reach my goal. Besides, I can't afford to spend unseen amounts of money on eating food that is bad for my waist, my teeth and my wallet. It is so enlightening to be able to see what all my mistakes cost me and be able to correct them. I hope I can remain as dedicated as I am, eventually I plan on opening up to people about my journey and maybe help others as I have helped myself.
