A journey is never as easy as A to B.

In the past year I have gained 35kg.

I don't have any excuses for it.

I am not a failure, but I have failed this.

I had a bunch of excuses for why this wasn't a problem lined up to share, but they are just that... excuses.

It doesn't matter how much weight I've lost previously. All that matters is that I gained this much weight this quickly.

I used to watch "The Biggest Loser" and other shows, look at their weight loss and think to myself, "that's not going to end well." Little did I know that the same would ring true for me.

I gained weight just as quickly as I had lost it.

Do I consider that progress gone? No. It's not gone. I learned quite a few lessons over the nearly 2 years since I started my journey.

I understand now that weight loss is more than just CICO, it's also a mindset.

I didn't exercise the last time I lost weight. It was weight loss purely through CICO. It worked great until I stopped counting.

A few months ago I started walking around a local park. I listened to music while I did it. I really enjoyed it.

About 2 months ago I started doing C25K and injured my knee. I am too obese jog without injuring myself.

I still try to get outside every day. I love being outside, but for whatever reason my body doesn't.

If we are counting days then this isn't day one, this is day: 998.
