Stepped on the scale for the first time since I stopped working out almost a year ago. I've gained 60+ lbs, now at the biggest I've ever been at almost 300.

Just here to vent, but this needs to change. I have to stop lying to myself about my body. I don't feel fat but I am, I really am. No more blaming the dryer for clothes feeling tighter, no more excusing the fact that I have to punch new holes for my belt, that none of my pants fit comfortably anymore. I'm not pitying myself, but more so just amazed at how I let myself go.

I have a million and one excuses on why I let myself get this way, but they don't matter. What matters is how I fix myself starting now. No more bored eating, no more stress eating. I was doing so well during the summer of 2018, I was still fat (230~ lbs) but I was relatively fit and strong. Now I'm weak and fatter than ever. Just because I'm depressed, just because of school stress, because my gym membership ran out, and all the other dozens of excuses are right in my face doesn't mean I can't put the fork down and do some push ups at home.

Dunno if posts like these are allowed, just felt like getting this out there. Feel free to delete if I'm breaking rules.
