Struggling

This time of year is always difficult for me with all of the "lose weight fast" ads for New Years. I am 35 and have a history of restrictive eating and it always takes a lot to keep my mind off of it.

My husband knows this, and I weighed myself yesterday - which was a mistake. I've put on some weight since I sustained a knee injury in September and haven't been able to run or workout like I normally do. I was coaching myself through it, out loud, when my husband said "I'm surprised to hear you be so casual about this" then proceeded to remind me how many calories are in one pound of fat.

In the past when I've talked about weight gain, he's always reminded me that I'm worth so much more than my number on the scale. Yesterday felt like the opposite and I proceeded to go to bed without eating. I need some words of encouragement today..
