Trying to pick up my life again
I don't know how much you weigh but I'd deff set this as your priority for the 2nd Half of the year. The longer you wait, the "stickier" that weight gain will be.
I remember my sophomore spring semester in college. I put on like 30-40lbs of straight fat. Went from 'chubby but would look good with few months in the gym' to 'regular day to day functions are becoming difficult'.
I wasn't an emotional eater, but that semester I had the perfect storm for weight gain: Cold weather, a light academic schedule, no roommates, a weed man down my hall and a 3 min walk from the Cafe with an unlimited points dining plan. I was smoking mad weed and eating all that late night food up until none of my pants fit me and I'd go to nearly every function in sweats
I had to jog that weight gain off for all of summer.
Come to think of it, that may be where my knees started to degrade
