Two years ago, I hit a number on the scale that was terrifying to me, so I downloaded myfitnesspal and tracked what I ate. I lasted about a month and gained 20+ pounds after I stopped, hitting an even higher and scarier number!

A few months later, I tried working out. I don't think I even made it a month. The weight and a little more came back.

The third and final time, something in me snapped. (I was so close to hitting 200 pounds. Nopenopenope) I took baby steps. I stopped drinking sodas, I started drinking a lot of water, I fixed some not weight related issues that were bringing me down (hair and skin), for a while I just tried to make healthier eating choices without tracking. In Feb I did WeightWatchers for 12 weeks (FANTASTIC place to start!) Now, I'm tracking calories with myfitnesspal. I eat around 1200 a day. In the past few weeks, I've started exercising. I've found that I actually enjoy running, so I'm doing the C210K program. I joined a gym with an indoor track because running with humidity was not fun. Plus it has wifi, so I can stream music!

Anyways, the
TL;DR: 
If you fall off the wagon, you can always get back on. Making small changes one at a time helped me finally stay on.
