I am worse on my own

It's been a few months since I participated on this site, not to my advantage but disadvantage. I was happy when I first came into contact with it, but it involved work and I just stop doing the things required to progress. Maybe I needed that to happen to realize that "it works if I work it". Now a few added pounds later, I return, to work, no matter how slow, to progress in the right direction, because I realize that weight gain or lost, I am still working at something, so I need to work in a way for my benefit. I want improved health and to feel better about myself. I now see this site as a helper and not being alone. I am thankful for the tools and knowledge it provides.
