Well, this was my first week back at work. I'm trying to not get too anxious or pessimistic. I worry that I'll go back to all my unhealthy habits and just give up on forming any new ones. And just end up getting depressed. Well that's my worry.

My hope is that things will go differently. I hope I've finally got it through my head that I need to set goals that I have some control over, like learning how to cook yummy things so that I don't feel deprived and tempted to go out and eat. In the past, my goals have always involved numbers. I noticed that when I checked my blood sugar I was trying to "will" it to be low. I used to try to do the same thing with the scale.

Thanks to all of you for being a part of this forum. Getting support is definitely a different approach for me.
