I ate a little too much today. Honestly, I'm thinking of taking a break from dieting. I mean I don't want to gain all my weight back, but at the same time, I believe that my body is under a lot of stress dealing with a pandemic where there's no end in sight, as well as financial insecurity, so I think it might be inevitable.
 
Keep at it Matt! Gaining weight is not inevitable, but if you give up that's almost certainly what will happen. For perspective, here is your post from 1 year ago:

Your gain of 30 lbs in 52 weeks suggests that even with all of your walking you are eating about 300 calories too many per day. You can pretty much fix this just by eating a healthier breakfast and it won't cost you any extra money (you'll probably save money on cereal, pancakes, and donuts). You've lost the weight before, you got this! Easier now than if you let things slide for 6 months...
