I hear you. Yesterday I took my wife and kids out for Mother's Day Brunch. I felt great, until I saw the photos. I keep trying to fight the weight gain, but I go through a cycle of fatigued / lethargic all day, then 5pm hits and I gorge on alcohol and sugar (Ben & Jerry's Tonight Dough is my fave), can't sleep properly, then wake up the next day completely groggy. I'm only able to get through the day by taking 2 power naps in the morning and afternoon. I try to go running for 30 min 3x / week. But the problem is, with the post-run "runner's high," my endorphins are at an all time high and I feel invincible / free from consequences. Which leads me to indulge like it's going out of style.

Hang in there; many out there are going through the same struggles.
