disappointment and embarrassed

I was on WW from Oct to May and lost 17 lbs. I was never strict with myself but once I got into an exercise groove the weight came off easier.
Fast forward to this past summer and I didn't go at all, no reason why. Well now I put back the 17 lbs and am very upset with myself.
Every week I keep saying I am going to go back to weigh in and get back on track but I am embarrassed. I am just disappointed with myself that all that hard work and in very little time I put it back on.
Do you ever feel this way?

Re: disappointment and embarrassed

I've definitely felt this way. It's amazing to me how long it takes for the weight to come off, but yet how quickly it takes to gain. But, you did it before, so you can do it again! And just think, a lot of people wait until January (new year) or March (summer's coming) to start working out. You can do it now, and just think where you'll be at by June!

Re: disappointment and embarrassed

I had a similar summer. I restarted WW today. I erased my weight history and am just starting again. I hated having the visual reminder of how much I'd gained back, so I'm starting again.

You did it once, you can do it again! Just keep reminding yourself of that!!

Re: disappointment and embarrassed

It's very hard to get back on track- but you've done it before so you know you can do it. It is possible!! Just get yourself there that first time, and I'm sure it will be easier after that!

Best of luck!

Re: disappointment and embarrassed

Thanks everyone! I went to WW and weighed in today. I cried at the meeting, talking about my disappointment.
Everyone was very supportive and I feel a lot better now.
Here's to a good week!
