<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

Since the beginning of the year, I've been working my hardest to try to get on the weight-loss bandwagon, and it was going phenomenally for the first half of the year. My goal is ultimately to get down to 150 lbs, with which i want to commemorate with getting my first tattoo. 23/F here, lost about 25-30 lbs originally, starting from 205 and went down to 178. It was the smallest I had been, even smaller than the previous attempt to lose weight. 

My problem (this time) is that during the mind-blowing East Coast heat wave of mid-July this year, I lost my motivation. I wanted to go out and run or go to the gym and lift, but the heat just made me so unmotivated to do anything. I actually had pretty outstanding stats in the gym, and I haven't been there in such a while that I'm afraid that I've ruined my progress. Consequently, I started eating more, and today my eating habits haven't changed in the month and a half since the heat wave. 

I come on loseit and /r/hardbodies every day and get insanely jealous of others who decided to screw that nagging voice in the back of their heads and got up and started moving.  I'm afraid to go back to my exercising because a) i know my performance will suck and b) I'm too chickenshit to weigh myself and see what damage has been done. 

I'm not asking for sympathy, but I'm hoping that the reddit community can re-motivate me, because I don't want to keep eating and ruining myself. I can feel that I've gained roughly 5-10 lbs back, if not more and I want it to stop. Being back in nursing school doesn't help the impulse to just eat as a stress alleviator (sp?). So reddit, PLEASE! I ask your advice, tips, knowledge, patience, anything you are willing to bestow upon me.
<bot>: Used to be active, it got hot, I stopped exercising and kept eating and got fat again. Don't want this to become a permanent thing though. HALP!
